Notts County midfielder Alan Judge has the ability to play in the Premier League, according to his manager Keith Curle.
Judge began his career at Blackburn but did not play a game in the top-flight in two-and-a-half-years at Ewood Park before leaving to join Notts in League One in January last year. After an injury-hit first season at Meadow Lane, Judge has shone during this campaign and the 23-year-old has been a key figure in the club's challenge for the play-offs. "Put him in the right team and he could play Premier League football," said Curle. "He has got the ability and a devilment about him. Play the ball into him in and around the final-third and he makes things happen. "We know he can make us tick and with players like him you have got to give them a free rein. "The more quality players we can bring in, the better Alan Judge will get."
