Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Paddy McCourt has joined Notts County on loan until the end of the season - although Seagulls boss Chris Hughton will have the option to recall the Northern Irish international after 28 days.Hughton said, “Paddy has been an excellent professional in my time here and before I joined, but unfortunately he hasn’t been able to get the minutes on the pitch he would have wanted.
“So we wanted to get him some games and this loan to Notts County gives him the opportunity to go and play some regular first-team football. We also have the option - after 28 days - of a recall should we need to.”
