Andy Smith has impressed Stockport boss Sammy McIlroy

Sammy McIlroy has said he does not have any immediate plans to take Glentoran striker Andy Smith to Stockport County.
McIlroy said he was interested in signing Smith but revealed Stockport had no money to buy players.
Smith made his international breakthrough when McIlroy picked him for Northern Ireland's June 2003 friendly in Italy.
The Glens marksman had a spell with Sheffield United before returning to Ulster by signing for Glenavon in 2001.
McIlroy said Stockport would not be able to meet Glentoran's valuation of Smith.
"I would certainly be interested if he was available but the price being bandied about in the media is well out of our league," said McIlroy.
"We have a small budget and it is a case of having to sell to buy but unfortunately most of the players I have inherited are young and inexperienced."
