Macaulay Langstaff scoops top award as five Notts County players named in Team of the Season

Five Notts County players have been named in the National League's Team of the Season, while striker Macaulay Langstaff was named Player of the Season as voted by member clubs.

The Magpies have enjoyed a special campaign in Luke Williams' first season at the club, breaking several club and league records in their quest for promotion back to the Football League.

A number of players have stood out for Notts this campaign, but five have made the cut as the best the fifth division has to offer.

Captain Kyle Cameron and fellow defender Adam Chicksen were named in defence, with Ruben Rodrigues and Matty Palmer put in midfield with 42-goal Langstaff leading the line for the side.

Notts have the most players in the team despite finishing second to champions Wrexham - Ben Tozer, Elliot Lee, and Paul Mullin featuring from Phil Parkinson's side, while there was also spots for Boreham Wood goalkeeper Nathan Ashmore and Chesterfield duo, Jeff King and Ryan Colclough.

Head coach Williams missed out on the Manager of the Year award, with Wrexham's Parkinson awarded the trophy having guided the north Wales outfit back to the football league after a 15-year absence.

But the Magpies' record-breaking striker scooped the top award and was voted the National League's 2022-23 Player of the Season.

This serves as yet more recognition for the prolific striker, who has already scooped several trophies and records this season after scoring 42 goals - all in the National League and from open play. Here is a look at the records broken by Notts' number nine this campaign.

  • National League Player of the Season
  • National League Top Scorer
  • Notts County Fans' Player of the Season
  • Notts County Players' Player of the Season
  • National League Player of the Month (3)
  • Record set for most goals in a Notts County Season
  • Record set for most goals in a National League Season
  • Record set for most goals in a fifth tier season since rebranding in 2015
  • Record set for most Player of the Month awards in a National League Season
