Former Carlisle United striker Cole Stockton is the latest star to make a League One move.

The frontman has joined the Blues' third-tier rivals Burton Albion after leaving Morecambe.

The 29-year-old has ended a four-year spell with the relegated Shrimps and links up with Dino Maamria's Brewers.

It will see him come up against his former club when the promoted Blues face Burton in the 2023/24 season.

Stockton was on United's books in the 2017/18 season but moved on after a disappointing, one-goal spell - only to turn prolific for Morecambe.

Maamria told Burton's website:ย โ€œCole Stockton is a fantastic forward who has developed over the years.

"I worked with him in 2015 at Southport and heโ€™s proved himself to be a top Football League forward since then.

"His record in League One over the last two seasons is very good so we are delighted to have him.

โ€œHeโ€™s a typical goalscorer. He makes things happen in the final third. If you give the ball to him, he will create and score goals without a shadow of a doubt. He will fit in well with the team we are looking to build.โ€

United will discover when they will face Burton and the rest of League One when the new season fixtures are released on Thursday morning.
