The former Mansfield Town midfielder turned down offers from two other League Two teams, before agreeing a two-year deal at Meadow Lane yesterday. McParland has been chasing 26-year-old Hamshaw since he was released by the relegated Stags at the end of last season, with Lincoln City and Rotherham United also heavily linked with the former Sheffield Wednesday trainee. "I am delighted it's all sorted and I can't wait to get going now," said Hamshaw. "There were quite a lot of interest, but Notts were the first club I wanted to speak to. "To me, it is a massive club. The gaffer, Dave (Kevan) and Tommy (Johnson) were massive reasons in me coming here. "I spoke to them a couple of weeks ago and they told me what they wanted to achieve and I bought right into it straightaway. "They told me their plans for next season and some of the players they were bringing in. "It looks a really strong squad for this division, and like a club that is going places. "I am excited about a fresh challenge and working with good players. "I explained to the gaffer that I wanted to take my time making the decision. "I had to think about what was right for my family and me as a player, and Notts County ticked all those boxes. "It is the right move for me, the best move for my career." ------------------ |
