Frankly this is Good News

Nottinghamshire have given Paul Franks a promotion from his role with the Second Eleven and the Academy to being Assistant Coach to the First Eleven.


Hopefully the General's enthusiasm for Notts and never say die attitude will rub off onto the playing staff, giving the squad the lift necessary to push for promotion back to Division 1.

Franks in for Noon, it has to be seen as Good News!
