'That day at Notts County was a special one for me' - Magpies favourite Alan Sheehan leaves Luton Town

Notts County favourite Alan Sheehan has left Championship Luton Town to become a free agent.

He reached an agreement over the last remaining six months of his contract at Kenilworth Road and will be available to sign for another club outside of the transfer window.

During his time at Luton, he won back-to-back promotions with the Hatters as they rose into the Championship.

And reflecting on his time at the club, the 33-year-old, who made more than 120 appearances at Notts in two spells for the club,   said celebrating winning the League Two title with the Hatters at Meadow Lane, will live long in his memory.

"It's been an unbelievable four years, definitely my favourite time as a footballer," he told the club's website in a message to supporters.

"That day at Notts County was a special one for me, going to take a corner and having both sets of fans singing my name in a party atmosphere, that is something I’ll never forget.

“The promotion from League Two was brilliant, with the style we did it in.

"Then the League One title win was unbelievable, losing the manager (Nathan Jones) halfway through the season and Mick (Harford) coming in, galvanising everything and keeping everyone together.

“It’s been a remarkable few years and I’ve loved being able to play in the Championship again after 11 years out of it.

“I want to thank everyone involved with the club – the players, staff, all the coaches and managers I’ve worked under here – and especially the fans.

"They’ve been unbelievable to me since the day that I came, right up to now, at a place I’ve really been able to call home.

"I feel I’ve had a special relationship with you and I’ve loved every minute."
