Stockport County could be about to lose Scott Quigley this summer, with Morecambe set to seal a deal to bring him to the club as reported by Alan Nixon's Patreon.

The newly-promoted side have started to splash the cash upon their return to the EFL, as they aim to try and stay in League Two and push on next time out. County have been quick to bring in players in all areas and that means there could be some faces shown the exit door.

One such name is Quigley, who now looks like he could be waving goodbye to fourth tier football in favour of League One action instead. The Shrimps just about managed to stay in the third tier last season and will now look to move away from the relegation spots when the new campaign begins.

 

 

Quigley could certainly help them to do that too. Although he has never been tested at League One level before, the 29-year-old does have goals in his game. Last season he could manage only six goals in 24 starts for Stockport but prior to that, he was electric as he fired in 14 in 37 for Barrow in League Two.

Having bagged 20 in the National League for the side the season before that, the striker certainly knows where the back of the net is and Morecambe are prepared to give him a chance in the third tier for the first time in his career.

Stockport likely wouldn't utilise Quigley much either going forward considering their ability to splash the cash on other players - so a move could end up being win-win for both sides.

The Verdict

Scott Quigley getting a chance in League One is somewhat of a surprise considering his relative inexperience at that level and also his recent gametime for Stockport.

Granted, Stockport have been able to throw money at other players and that has led to the player slipping down the pecking order, but he was barely used in the National League and when he was, he only produced six goals.

Perhaps then, the Shrimps are hoping that more gametime could lead to more goals as it did with Barrow back when he played for the side. He might not be a regular first-team option for Morecambe but he could also be good in rotation if needed too and could prove to be a handy option considering his experience of EFL football.

If County also don't plan on using him much going forward, then letting the 29-year-old leave for pastures new might not be too much of a blow for the side and could actually help them out.
