Knight him!

The 20-year old midfielder, yet another product of Gary Mills’ nine month Meadow Lane tenure, has been a steady member of the squad since signing on non-contract terms back in September, making 3 first team appearences plus being a regular for the reserves.

The former Derby scholar joined the Magpies credit to Notts coach Steve Spooner, who the young Bosnian is very much appreciative of for his chance.

Talking to Magpies Online earlier today, ‘Faz’ – currently limited to late substitute appearances as a Notts player – said, "I am hoping to earn a deal here. I have spoken to the gaffer and things were said. In the New Year I am hoping I can get something sorted out on a more permanent basis."

"Every day I have to give 100% and impress every time. I can't have a bad training session because within the next month I need to have myself sorted out. I am on my toes, and I enjoy training under Ian Richardson." he went on.

Welcome to The Arena....
"In the reserves I have felt comfortable and I've had some good pro's playing with me in there. I have enjoyed playing there and have got a few assists, and I am happy with that. I am happy to be at this club and I would love a chance in the first team."

Recalling of his debut back in September just days after signing for the club, Kudozovic – who fled his native Bosnia at the age of nine – said, "It was an unbelievable experience for me to make my debut against Cheltenham."

"It was a great day. The pitch was superb, and to play at an arena Meadow Lane was like a dream. The fans were fantastic as well and I really enjoyed it and I am grateful to Gary Mills for showing some faith in me and giving me my chance."

"The players are just amazing here and much better, and it is here that I want to be really. I definitely want to stay here without a doubt."
