Stockport County have signed former Manchester United defender Phil Bardsley on a deal until the end of the season, with his entire salary donated to the club's community trust.
The 37-year-old, who was released by Burnley last summer following their relegation from the Premier League, made 18 appearances for United before joining Sunderland in 2008. The full-back has played 405 career games, including 303 in the top flight.
Bardsley becomes the first player in the County's history to agree to donate his entire salary to the County Community Trust. He has been training with the League Two side in recent months as he continues to recover from injury.
