Notts to complete Jackson signing

Last updated : 17 August 2009 By Jacob Daniel
Notts County are today set to complete the signing of Colchester United midfielder Johnnie Jackson, according to the Nottingham Evening Post. The former Tottenham Hotspur trainee is set for a medical and should be announced before the end of the day, confirming the rumours that had been rife on the NCM messageboard over the weekend.

Jackson is a versatile player who can play at left back and left wing, but is most comfortable in central midfield. He's a cultured player who's good on the ball and can pick out a pass, which should please Notts fans. A former Colchester player of the season who's made over 100 appearances for the club, he handed in a transfer request after falling out of favour with boss Paul Lambert. Starting his career at White Hart Lane, Jackson has had spells at Swindon Town, Derby County, Coventry City, Watford and also an initial loan spell with Colchester.
