Stockport County's signing of defender Fraser Horsfall has been lauded as a potential game-changer by boss Dave Challinor.... but it hasn't sat well with his former Nothampton teammates.
Tuesday saw County complete the free transfer of the 25-year-old, who joins the League Two side after Stockport won last season's National League title. They have already been installed as bookies' favourites to repeat the feat next term and barge their way into League One.
They were taken over by local businessman Mark Stott in 2020 and he has invested plenty into the playing squad and club infrastructure. That culminated in last season's promotion and just recently Stott announced he had cleared the £7.7m debt the club owed him. The club, as a result, are in rude health financially hence their tag as promotion favourites.
