Danny Lloyd reckons he’s “buzzing” to be back at Stockport County after signing on loan from Salford City until the end of the season.
The 28-year-old winger, pictured celebrating scoring for the Hatters, was a huge fans’ favourite at Edgeley Park during the 2016-17 season when he scored 29 goals and notched 20 assists after joining from AFC Fylde.
That earned him a big money move to Peterborough United where he went on to make 37 appearances and scored 13 goals before joining newly-promoted Salford the following season for an undisclosed fee.
“[I’m] buzzing to be back,” Lloyd tweeted. “Time to play some football #county.”
? “The relationship I’ve got with the fans is special. You probably get that just once or twice in your career.”
