Latics boss Brian Talbot is hoping to sign the 26-year-old on a deal for the rest of the season.

Mildenhall signed from Swindon Town in a �150,000 deal in 2001 but has played just once this season and County will let him go to reduce their wage-bill.

Magpies� player-manager Ian Richardson has already lined up a replacement and in addition hopes to make a further loan signing.
