Shaun Derry has called time on his playing career after becoming the new manager of Notts County, with former Bantams midfielder Greg Abbott lined up as his assistant.

Succeeding Chris Kiwomya as manager at Meadow Lane sees Derry return to the club where his professional career began in the mid-1990s.

The Nottingham-born midfielder went on to play for seven other clubs including Leeds, where he became friends with Abbott.

The Magpies visit the Bantams later this month.
