Notts County defender Macari signs new deal

Notts County defender Lewis Macari has signed a one-year deal to remain with the newly-promoted League One side.

>The 24-year-old, who also has a further 12-month option on his contract in the club's favour, has made more than 100 appearances for the Magpies since first joining the club on loan from Stoke City in 2023.

>He featured 40 times for Notts last term, but a serious leg injury suffered in late April meant he played no part in the League Two play-off campaign it took to get the Magpies promoted.

>Macari was on crutches and watching on from the stands at Wembley Stadium as Notts beat Salford City 3-0 in the play-off final to end their 11-year League One absence.
