Stockport County have signed Portsmouth midfielder Owen Moxon on a permanent deal as well as bringing in Barnsley striker Sam Cosgrove and Norwich defender Brad Hills on loan for the rest of the season.
Moxon, 27, has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal at Edgeley Park and joined for an undisclosed fee.
He made 28 appearances for Portsmouth, scoring one goal, after arriving from Carlisle a year ago almost to the day.
“Owen is a player who has been spoken about across the three years I’ve been at the club,” Stockport manager Dave Challinor told the club website., external
“We feel we are adding an all-round midfielder that can play in the deeper role in an energetic manner, has a great range of passing, his set-piece delivery is outstanding and he can chip in with his share of goals.
“To have Owen, not just in the short term but beyond that, is really exciting and we feel he can grow with us. His motivation, as ours is, is to get back to the Championship as soon as possible.”
Meanwhile, Cosgrove, 28, who won League One with Plymouth Argyle in 2023, has been brought in to boost Challinor’s attacking options as the Hatters chase a play-off spot.
After spells at Wigan Athletic and Carlisle United, the target man scored 17 goals for Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership in the 2018-19 season with 23 more in all competitions the following season, including six in the Europa League.
He moved to Birmingham in January 2021 but though he appeared only 17 times for Blues, he had success on loan with AFC Wimbledon and Plymouth, netting a dozen goals as Argyle clinched the League One title.
After a move to Barnsley last season, half of his six Tykes goals came in the play-off semi-finals.
Hills, 20, spent last season on loan with Accrington Stanley in League Two and has made five appearances in all competitions for Norwich this campaign.
He could make his debut for the Hatters, who are fourth in League One, in Saturday’s home game against Barnsley.
