Leeds fans deliver verdict on potential Alan Smith return as he leaves Notts County
Notts County announced on Tuesday that former Leeds United striker Alan Smith was going to be released following the expiry of his contract with the League Two club, and Whites fans were quick to discuss a potential return to Elland Road for the 37-year-old.
Smith, who has tended to play as a central midfielder rather than a centre-forward in recent years but only featured in 56 minutes of league football this season, saw his team beaten by Coventry City in their League Two play-off semi-final last week, meaning they will be spending another year in England’s fourth tier.
His manager Kevin Nolan has decided to let him go now his current deal is up and Smith, who scored 52 goals in 209 appearances in all competitions for the Yorkshire outfit earlier in his career, could now be considering moving into a coaching role.
