Tyson joins strikeforce

Nathan handed Notts deal

1 August 2019

Following his impressive period on trial with the club, Nathan Tyson has signed a contract with Notts County.

The striker hit four goals during the Magpies' pre-season run-outs, including a hat-trick in a 5-0 victory over Ilkeston Town and joins the club for the second time in his career, having spent two months on loan at Meadow Lane in 2014.

Most recently with Wycombe, Tyson has enjoyed a long and illustrious career following his professional debut in April 2000 and has played on both sides of the River Trent as well as at the other end of Brian Clough Way.

And after signing with Notts ahead of the 2019-20 campaign, the striker is determined to make more of an impact than he did during his previous stint at Meadow Lane.

"When I first played here, I was half a player," admitted Tyson. "I was a player that had fallen out of love with the game and I was ready to retire.

"There’s a lot of unfinished business for me at Notts – I underachieved and under-performed previously. I don’t think I’m the complete player but I think I’m really good at what I do.

"I’m here to fight for a cause, which is that I believe this club should be in the Football League.

"I'm looking forward to the challenge ahead - it'll be a tough one but we can it make easier for ourselves if we pull together."

More on Nathan...

Tyson came through the ranks at Reading and spent time on loan at Maidenhead, Swansea, Cheltenham and Wycome before joining the latter permanently in 2004.

The 37-year-old was loaned to Nottingham Forest in November 2005 and the Reds parted with a reported £675,000 to secure his services permanently two months later.

He remained at the City Ground until June 2011, where he clocked up over 200 appearances, before making the short trip down the A52 to sign for Derby County.

Tyson spent two years at Pride Park, which included a loan at Millwall, before heading to the north-west and joining Blackpool.

His sole season at Bloomfield Road featured loans with Fleetwood and at Meadow Lane, with a permanent switch to Doncaster coming at the end of 2013-14.

The striker spent two years with Rovers before heading north of the border to join Kilmarnock in September 2016, returning to England and Wycombe the following July.
