Magpies want Tann

Former Cambridge United defender Adam Tann is currently training with Notts County.

Former Cambridge United defender Adam Tann is currently training with Notts County with a view to signing a contract with them.

Tann broke into the Cambridge first team in the 2001/02 season having come up through their youth system.

In all he made 148 appearances for the U's, but left the club in the summer after he rejected a new contract offer.

Tann has recently been training with the Magpies and assistant manager, Ross Maclaren, is sufficiently impressed with him to give him the chance to play at the weekend.

"We've got Adam Tann with us at the moment, he has trained with us for the last few days and doesn't look out of place here,'' said Maclaren.

"We hope to have him training with us for a couple of weeks, and we hope that today we may have him signed up for Saturday's game at Bristol. He might sign non-contract, but we will have to see how things go.

"Adam has experience and has played in League Two for a while, so he knows the score. He comes very well recommended and has been with us since Monday, and having played well over 150 games he has that experience we need."
