Liverpool youngster Robbie Threlfall arrives on loan for Stockport

Jim Gannon has completed the loan signing of Robbie Threlfall from nearby Liverpool only hours into the January transfer market.

Threlfall has represented England U19s but is yet to make a competitive appearance for Liverpool. He made his senior debut in a pre-season friendly against Wrexham during the summer of 2006.

The 20 year old has spent some time on loan at Hereford United over the past two seasons but was recalled in order to move to the Hatters.

The move to sign the Liverpool youngster has fuelled rumours of possible sales of Stockport's impressive defenders during the transfer window.
