Sol Campbell's much publicised stay with League Two Notts County has ended after one appearance, it was reported last night. The former England centre-back is said to have told the club that he wants to leave after making his debut in a defeat at Morecambe on Saturday.
Campbell joined County last month on a five-year deal, having agreed to join an ambitious project headed by his former international manager Sven-Goran Eriksson. He finally made his first appearance at the weekend after working on his fitness and it appears it could also be his last.
County are said to want to try to persuade Campbell, who left Portsmouth in the summer, to continue. The player's representative, Sky Andrew, was not immediately available for comment.
