Joe Hardy: Accrington Stanley sign former Liverpool striker

Accrington Stanley have signed striker Joe Hardy on a two-year-deal following his departure from Liverpool.

The Wirral-born 22-year-old left the Reds this summer, having made just one senior appearance - in an FA Cup win over Shrewsbury Town in 2019-20.

Hardy moved to Liverpool from Brentford, who signed him to play for their B team. Before that he was with Manchester City's academy.

"Joe is a goalscorer," Stanley boss John Coleman told the club website.

"He gets himself in the right places at the right time and this is a good chance for him to kick-start his career.
