Lewis Macari: Notts County sign on-loan Stoke City defender on permanent deal

On-loan defender Lewis Macari has made his move to Notts County from Championship side Stoke City permanent.

The 21-year-old has made 10 appearances for Notts since arriving on loan in the summer, and has now signed a deal until the end of the 2026-27 season.

League Two side Notts initially signed Macari when Geraldo Bajrami suffered a season-ending knee injury.

"This club's on the up and I wanted to be someone who could help take it forward," Macari said.

Talking to BBC Radio Nottingham, the defender added: "I feel properly part of the team now and I'm really happy to be staying permanently.
