League Two side seal momentous signature

Football - Portsmouth v Stoke City Barclays Premier League

Notts County are on the verge of completing the signing of former England centre-half Sol Campbell, reports BBC Radio Nottingham.
Campbell agreed to join the League Two side after further talks on Monday and the deal will be confirmed on Tuesday.
The 34-year-old, who is a free agent after leaving Portsmouth in the summer, will sign in a purely playing capacity.
He has 73 England caps and played for his country under Meadow Lane director of football Sven-Goran Eriksson.

Well this is quite a coup. Notts County, under the guidance of Ian McParland, and not Sven Goran Ericsson, have started the season with a bang and stand at the top of the League Two summit. The signings of Lee Hughes, Karl Hawley, Kasper Schmeichel and half a dozen proven lower league players have helped the club to mount a promotion push which is far removed from last seasons battle against relegation to the Conference.

The capture of Sol Campbell will not only get the headlines but will also go a long way to adding more defensive steel to go alongside an attack that has already scored 13 goals in four games.
