English League Two side Notts County have released former Newcastle United star Shola Ameobi.

The Nigeria international joined the Notts in December 2016 as a free agent and made 54 appearances across all competitions, scoring ten goals during his two-year stay.

In the 2017-18 season, the attacker helped Kevin Nolan’s men to a semi-final playoff spot where they lost 5-2 on aggregate to Coventry City.

The Meadow Lane outfit announced the departure of the forward as well as ten other players, namely: Adam Collin, Carl Dickinson, Mike Edwards, Jonathan Forte, Elliot Hodge, Nicky Hunt, Rob Milsom, Callum Saunders, Alan Smith and Curtis Thompson.
