John Sheridan has left Oldham Athletic to become manager of Notts County.

The 51-year-old has signed a three-year contract with the Sky Bet League Two club.

Former Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Mark Crossley also joins the club as assistant manager, having previously worked alongside Sheridan at Chesterfield.

Sheridan said: "I'm delighted to be joining Notts County and relishing the opportunity to get the club challenging for promotion to League One.

"The decision to leave Oldham was not an easy one and I will always retain my affection for the club and its fans.

"Notts County is a big club - far bigger than its current league position suggests and having taken Chesterfield to the League Two title, I know what is required to succeed and get the club back to a higher level."

Oldham chairman Simon Corney said in a club statement: "It is particularly tough for me as John is not only a good manager but also a good friend.

"There are several reasons behind this move and not all will be apparent to everyone, but John goes with my blessing and eternal thanks for his tremendous effort in keeping us in Division One last season."
