Stockport sign Andrew on short-term contract

Danny Andrew was released by Cambridge United in the summer after two seasons

Stockport County have signed experienced left-back Danny Andrew on a one-month contract.

The 34-year-old was released by Cambridge United at the end of his contract earlier this summer and has joined Dave Challinor's squad after impressing the manager as a triallist in a pre-season friendly with Salford City.

Andrew has played 570 games in a 17-year career, his longest stay being four seasons at Fleetwood Town from 2019 to 2023 - his second spell at Highbury.

Stockport are short of left-back cover after Ibou Touray joined Bradford and Ryan Rydel departed for Exeter on loan, while the only incoming replacement so far has been Tayo Edun, who is facing a "prolonged spell" out with injury.

Challinor told the club website: "He comes at an important time, and we feel his experience, leadership and adaptability of playing in different positions at this level will be really important over this period.

"The short-term nature of the deal suits everyone at present and we'll assess things over the period."
