Sam Bird flies home

Sam Bird

The club can confirm that Sam Bird has returned to Stockport County FC following the end of his loan spell on the 2nd January 2024. Whilst we have tried to extend the loan for a further period, the player and his agent are considering other options at this stage.

We would like to thank Sam for his total commitment to the club in his time here and he will always be welcomed back should the opportunity arise. We know that he has developed as a player during his time with us and has been pivotal under the current turnaround in form. We would like to wish Sam success with his footballing career and will always keep an eye on his progress.

Good Luck Sam !

Pathway to the first team success

SRFC Academy

Under the leadership of Andy Turner, our Academy & Development Squad aim is to produce players with first team potential, and so far, this season Jack Sandel (Goalkeeper) and Lewis Keeling (Midfield) have trained regularly with the first team and have made appearances. Jack has also had several games at Eccleshall FC on dual registration forms.

Other players were given the opportunity for game time in the Staffordshire Senior Cup versus Kidsgrove, and their attitude and hard work has now paid dividends. We are pleased to confirm that Miles Mawson (Defender), Max Barlow (Defender/Midfield), Henry Brereton (Midfield) and Fletcher Rushbury (Striker) have all signed first team forms and are training with the first team. Their challenge now is to work harder and push for a place in the match-day squad. Other players are expected to follow, subject to injuries but the message is clear that if the correct attitude is shown together with hard work and commitment, opportunities will arise.

All players will continue to play for their respective youth and academy teams, ensuring regular game time and further development.

Well done to all !

    John Mac’s Great Trek is on Track

    John Mac’s Great Trek is on Track

    Update on the Trek

    Our former company Secretary, John Macmillan, is walking 6,000,000 steps in a year to raise money for our charity, Stafford Rangers in the Community, to run sports camps for youngsters and disadvantaged adults. After the first two months he is ahead of target having walked 1,052,740 recorded paces!!

    John’s trek isn’t merely a personal triumph; it’s a rallying point for those embracing a healthier lifestyle and seeking motivation to push their own boundaries. As the steps accumulate, the anticipation builds, and supporters eagerly await the moment when John Macmillan officially achieves the extraordinary feat of 6 million steps.

    Stay tuned for more updates on this epic journey as John continues to inspire, one pace at a time!

    Many thanks for your support.

    An update on our squad

    Jack Shorrock

    We can confirm the signing of highly rated defender Jack Shorrock from Port Vale on work experience until early January. Comfortable on the left side of defence Jack, although only 16 years old, has first team experience and will be available for selection this evening for our match against Whitby Town.

    Sadly Simon Njaria picked up a hamstring injury at the weekend and has not travelled with the squad.

    Leaving the Boro is Edy Maieco, in search of regular game time and we would like to thank Edy for his commitment whilst at the club.

    Welcome Jack and Thanks Edy.
