Journeymen frontman on the move again
Free agent Martin Gritton, fresh from being paid up by Chesterfield, is on Stockport County’s radar at the moment. The forgotten Imp of the Schofield / Deehan era never seems to get a decent crack yet and has had more clubs than Tiger Woods.
Although Gritton is never going to get you 20 goals a season he is a great target man and support striker who could work well with Anthony Elding.
