Stockport sign Burnley striker Mellon on loan

Stockport County have signed striker Michael Mellon on a season-long loan from Championship side Burnley.

The 20-year-old, son of Oldham Athletic boss Micky Mellon, spent part of last term on loan at Morecambe, where he scored 15 goals in 27 appearances.

A Scotland youth international, he was then recalled from his stint at Morecambe and spent the remainder of last term on loan with Scottish Premiership side Dundee.

“Michael had a fantastic 2023-24 season in terms of his goal return and has naturally attracted plenty of interest from clubs this summer," Hatters boss Dave Challinor said.
