NOTTS County are a step closer to signing Jamaica international Damion Stewart, after loaning Krystian Pearce to Barnet.

Stewart, 32, has been training with the Magpies for two weeks since being released by Championship club Bristol City.

And boss Keith Curle says talks over a deal at Meadow Lane have now started.

Stewart spent four months on loan at Notts last season, playing 17 league games.

Curle also coached the centre-back at QPR and is confident a contract can be agreed.

"We're in negotiations with his agent at the minute to see if we can do a deal that suits everybody," said Curle.

"Damion has also got to change his work permit because he will be moving clubs, which should be straightforward.

"Hopefully we can strike a deal that falls within our salary limit."

Meanwhile, Pearce has joined Barnet, who are bottom of the Football League, on a three-month loan, after getting fit following a hernia operation in the summer.

But Curle insists he could still have a future at Meadow Lane.

"Krystian is match ready now so the next part of his progression is to play," he said.

"He can't force his way into our team at the moment, but we didn't want him to slip backwards so he's gone to Barnet.

"He needed to go out because playing in our development squad was not enough for him.

"We call on a lot of trialists in those games and they can be a bit unpredictable.

"Sometimes you get good competitive games and others times they can be a complete mismatch.

"We're going to keep a close eye on how he does.

"We've asked Barnet to send us a tape of every one of the games he plays in so we can analyse his performances.

"The door is not closed on him by any means."
