Although - after great success under previous Youth Team Manager Gary Brazil in years gone-by - Hamilton's youngsters currently lie bottom of their table, with just one win in 13, it is believed that this was not the reason for the decision.
First Team Coach Steve Spooner will now take charge of the Youth Team. Notts - as with goalkeeping coach Steve Sutton - will not be required to pay Hamilton any compensation.
We wish him all the best.
