Dutch goalkeeper Kelle Roos has left Notts County by mutual consent. The 34 year old departs after signing a two year contract with the League One club in July of the previous year.
Roos made 26 appearances for the Magpies during the first half of last season. He was then loaned to Scottish Premiership side Kilmarnock in the January transfer window. Notts County, who were promoted from League Two via the play offs last term, currently sit 10th in League One with six points from four games. Their recent form reads DWDD, having scored six goals and conceded five for a plus one goal difference.
Kelle Roos joined Notts County ahead of their return to League One. His 26 appearances came as the club established itself back in the third tier. The move to Kilmarnock in January provided the goalkeeper with regular football in Scotland's top division. The BBC reported the departure, confirming the mutual agreement that ends his contract early.
Notts County now look ahead to a key fixture against league leaders Huddersfield Town on September 5th. They trail Huddersfield by four points in the early standings. The club's defensive record this season shows five goals conceded from their opening four matches.
The experienced Dutchman has a career spanning several British clubs. Before his move to Meadow Lane, Kelle Roos played for Derby County in the Championship. He also had spells at AFC Wimbledon and Scottish club Aberdeen. His career path shows a player familiar with the demands of football in England and Scotland.
Notts County manager Stuart Maynard now has a decision to make regarding his goalkeeping options. Fans can view the full squad list on the club's official site. The team's current form and upcoming fixtures will influence how the manager uses his resources.
As of September 4th, Notts County hold 10th place in League One. They have one win, three draws, and zero losses from their opening four fixtures. This solid, if unspectacular, start gives them a platform to build upon. The immediate challenge is a trip to face Huddersfield, who top the table.
The club sits four points behind the leaders. A positive result in that match could significantly alter the early season picture. Supporters tracking the team's progress can find detailed stats online. The next game is scheduled for September 5th, 2026.
