Stockport County chose to make a move for Notts County man Kyle Wootton due to him becoming an ‘influential leader’ in the Magpies' dressing room, according to the club’s director of football.
Wootton’s exit from Meadow Lane was confirmed on Thursday, with the 25-year-old signing a three-year deal with Stockport upon the expiry of his contract. After the move was announced the striker took to social media to deliver a heartfelt message to Notts fans.
The move to Stockport means that the player will feature in League Two in the upcoming season following the club’s promotion at the end of 2021/22. He scored a total of 20 goals in 46 appearances in all competitions for Notts last season.
