Notts County supporters will love what their midfielder Ollie Norburn has shared on social media

Notts County supporters are in a celebratory mood following their side's promotion from League Two to League One.

The Meadow Lane side clinched promotion to the third tier by beating Salford City 3-0 in Bank Holiday Monday's play-off final at Wembley Stadium.

Goals from Alassana Jatta, Lucas Ness, and Jodi Jones saw the Magpies return to League One for the first time since suffering relegation from the third tier in 2015.

County have now earned two promotions in four seasons, having won the National League play-offs in 2023.

Ollie Norburn celebrates in style as Notts County win promotion to League One

Midfielder Ollie Norburn has been a key player for Martin Paterson's men this season, making 35 League Two appearances, notching one goal and one assist in the process.

The 33-year-old went on to start all of County's play-off games, helping them see off Chesterfield in the semi-finals and Salford at Wembley.

He was shown two red cards in March, but has subsequently gone on to prove his worth, and has ensured that League One football will be back at Meadow Lane next term.

Taking his Instagram story on Tuesday morning, the former Wigan Athletic and Blackpool man shared a photo of himself drinking a bottle of beer in a County promotion T-shirt, captioned: "If there's ever a day for a Peroni breaky it's today."

The Meadow Lane faithful will love seeing one of their promotion-winning heroes enjoying himself following a season of hard work, which ultimately yielded success.

Ollie Norburn's League One experience could prove vital for Notts County

Paterson's side deserve all the credit that has come their way following their promotion to League One, and showed strong mentality in the play-offs, having missed out on automatic promotion by two points.

However, County have a big task on their hands to adjust to life in the third tier next term, as there is a gulf in class from League Two, albeit one that has been bridged well by the likes of Stockport County and Bradford City in recent seasons.

Quality outfits such as Plymouth Argyle and Luton Town missed out on the League One play-offs this term, while Sheffield Wednesday, Leicester City, and Oxford United will all mean business following relegation from the Championship.

However, having earned bags of experience in the third tier thanks to his time with Wigan, Blackpool, Peterborough United, and Shrewsbury Town, Norburn can help County make the step-up in quality from League Two.

He made 34 League One appearances for Blackpool as recently as the 2023/24 season, proving that he can be a reliable asset at the level.

Furthermore, Norburn has already performed well in high-pressure games for County, as demonstrated by his play-off displays against Chesterfield and Salford.

The Grenada international will vie to be a key asset for Paterson's side when they welcome the likes of Wednesday and Leicester to Meadow Lane next term.

As per BBC Sport, County have the option to extend his contract by a further 12 months, having handed him a one-year deal in the summer of 2025.
