Ade Akinbiyi insists he made the right move to turn his back on a lucrative coaching deal in Texas to link up with Notts County project.
The former Burnley, Stoke and Wolves star had finished playing for Houston Dynamo in the MLS and was considering a coaching career before being tempted back to Meadow Lane to spearhead their assault on promotion.
"I finished out there and wasn't sure whether to go straight into coaching," he told skysports.com. "I had the option to do some coaching out there but I got the call to come here and thought why not give it a go.
"I spoke to (assistant manager) Dave Kevan way before I went to America and he said if I ever wanted to play for him, just give him a bell, and he'd try his best to get me into the club.
"At the time I wanted to experience going out to America and when I finished that, I thought I'd give it a go here.
"It's great to come to a club that's got a lot of ambition. The board wants to push the club up to the Premier League in the next five years and it'd be nice to be a part of them going up this season."
