Welcome poser for McParland
Following the takeover of the club by middle-east consortium Munto Finance, McParland has been able to considerably strengthen his striking options with the signings of Luke Rodgers, Lee Hughes and Karl Hawley.
Rodgers has been in blistering form during pre-season scoring seven goals and has already forged a good partnership with Hughes, who netted on his home debut in the friendly against city rivals Nottingham Forest towards the end of last month.
Meanwhile, Hawley insists he is fit and ready to be thrown straight into the team after moving to Meadow Lane on a three-year deal from Preston.
Delroy Facey, Sean Canham and Ben Fairclough complete the Magpies' six-man strikeforce.
"It's great for me to have good strikers to choose from. It will be a tough decision but I'd rather have it like that. It's up to the boys to earn a place in the side," said McParland.
