Stockport County’s first team have lined up for the camera ahead of the 2018/19 season.

The Hatters will again be managed by Jim Gannon and led by skipper Paul Turnbull as they look to improve on last season’s fifth-placed finish in National League North and a place in the play-offs.

New signings Ash Palmer, Jake Kirby, Frank Mulhern, Connor Dimaio, Jordan Keane and Nyal Bell were all on display in the official team photograph taken by Mike Petch at Edgeley Park.

County continued their pre-season with a 1-1 draw with Cheshire rivals and Football League new boys Macclesfield Town on Saturday.
