Notts County have bolstered their squad on transfer deadline day by registering their own manager Kevin Nolan as a player.
The former Bolton, Newcastle and West Ham midfielder, appointed County manager earlier this month, has signed a deal now that the club's transfer embargo has been lifted.
The 34-year-old will bring a wealth of experience to County's midfield as they attempt to avoid relegation from Sky Bet League Two.
Chairman and owner Alan Hardy told the club's official website: "It was always Kevin's intention to register as a player and I'm delighted to confirm we have now completed the formalities.
"He will of course need to continue building his fitness but, when he's ready, I'm confident we will have one of, if not the, best midfielders in the league."
County later announced that midfielder Stanley Aborah had left the club by mutual consent, before West Brom youngster Tahvon Campbell joined on loan until the end of the season.
The 20-year-old forward spent the first half of the campaign on loan at fellow Sky Bet League Two side Yeovil, making 24 appearances and scoring once before he was recalled by the Premier League side.
"Tahvon comes to us highly recommended. He will bring pace and power to our attack, either from wide positions or up front," said Nolan.
