Gleeson Leaves For County

Stephen Gleeson has ended his loan spell at the Bulls, and joined promotion rivals Stockport County instead.

The Wolves midfielder told their official site: "County outplayed Hereford in every position on the pitch. They just passed the ball around and we couldn't get near them. They proved they can definitely challenge Hereford and I don't think anyone can hold it against County if they finished third."

Gleeson made his home debut for the Bulls in the game against the Hatters, with a totally ineffective display, after two away games where he earned a surprising Team of the Week nod for his display against Shrewsbury. He has been restricted to the bench or out of the squad since then until his second half cameo against Bury.

He had a previous spell on loan at Edgeley Park, along with Wolves keeper Wayne Hennessey, after which he declared himself a "Stockport fan for life".

With the Bulls now down to five loan players, and Graham Turner's hopes of keeping Gleeson dashed, another loan signing before Thursday's deadline is likely.

Meanwhile, Bulls target Kevin Ellison is not expected to leave Chester unless they change their mind. Wrexham boss Brian Little has admitted defeat in his attempts to sign the former Tranmere man:

"It is not something that seems to be happening. I think it is common knowledge we have been interested in Kevin for a while. He is someone we have asked questions about on a few occasions. Getting a potential match winner is a target most people won't let go. I can understand why Chester are holding onto him and we have to accept that."
