Kyle Wootton commits

I don’t think Wootton or Notts will have any idea if he’ll go in Jan/end of season/at all.
It depends on who comes in for him, and the offer on the table. And I think that will depend on clubs above us losing their key strikers.
I don’t think many clubs will have the money and the prospects to both interest the club and the player in Jan.
My gut feel is we’ll keep him all season. If he’s still a Notts player next season then I’ve a feeling we’ll be in league 2.

Is there any downside to him signing a new contract in January so that he won't go for free in the summer if someone comes in for him?

Possibly from the player's point of view. If he's out of contract I'd think he'd be able to negotiate a higher salary than if the club who are interested had to pay a sizeable fee for him.
