Ross County linked with January move for Morecambe forward Cole Stockton

Ross County have been linked with a move for Morecambe forward Cole Stockton.

Englishman Stockton is out of contract at the end of the season, and was heavily linked with a move during the summer after he turned down a new deal with the Shrimps.

It followed a prolific campaign last term in which Stockton netted 26 goals – playing a major role in keeping Derek Adams’ men in League One.

Stockton had a previous six-month stint in Scottish football with Hearts in 2017, and has since had spells with Carlisle United, Tranmere Rovers and Wrexham.
