The 2017-18 campaign was a season of renewed promise for Notts County as The Magpies secured an impressive 5th-place finish in League Two, their highest league position since 2014, and qualified for the play-offs. Leading the charge was the sensational attacking midfielder Jorge Grant, whose 15 crucial goals provided the creative spark in a campaign built on consistency under manager Kevin Nolan. Despite the heartbreak of losing the play-off semi-final to Coventry City, it was a memorable year that marked the club's return to competitiveness and remains a defining chapter of hope in their modern history.
