Prolific veteran striker David McGoldrick has been offered a new deal to remain at Notts County beyond the summer.
The 37-year-old was said to be in head coach Stuart Maynard’s “plans for next season”, but the tabling of a contract offer has now been confirmed.
In March, McGoldrick told BBC Radio Nottingham that he hoped his performances would earn him another deal at Meadow Lane.
He was Notts’ second highest scorer with 17 goals as the Magpies finished sixth in the table, taking his tally to 30 goals in 76 appearances since he returned to his boyhood club for a third spell in the summer of 2023.
Injury meant the former Sheffield United, Nottingham Forest and Derby County forward missed their season-ending play-off semi-final second-leg defeat by AFC Wimbledon on Saturday.
“He is incredible, we want him to be at the club,” Maynard said of McGoldrick after Saturday’s loss at Plough Lane.
McGoldrick is the only out-of-contract Notts player to be offered a new deal after the side missed out on promotion from League Two.
Midfielder Sam Austin, who featured 28 times in the 2024-25 season, is among a quartet of the Magpies’ promotion-winning National League side who have been let go.
Former captain Kyle Cameron and Adam Chicksen – two players that spent much of the past season out on loan – as well as goalkeeper Sam Slocombe were all part of the side that returned Notts to the English Football League two years ago.
“While it’s sad to be saying farewell to four players who were such important figures in our 2022-23 promotion season, they leave us with many fantastic memories,” the club said in a statement on its website, external.
Attacking midfielder Charlie Whitaker, goalkeeper Tyler Miller and defender Robbie Cundy have also been released.
