Former England captain Paul Ince has signed a 3 1/2-year contract as manager of League One club Notts County.

The 43-year-old Ince has been out of work since ending a second stint at MK Dons in May.

He replaces Craig Short, who left the club on Sunday.

Notts County chairman Ray Trew says Ince was ''the obvious choice.''

Ince led MK Dons to promotion from League Two before a short-lived and unsuccessful spell at Premier League club Blackburn.

MK Dons are seventh in the English third tier with 20 points from 13 games, eight fewer than leader Brighton but just two points off second place.
