McIlroy gets go-ahead on Villa pair

Stockport boss Sammy McIlroy has been given the go-ahead to try and sign Aston Villa pair Boaz Myhill and Danny Jackman on a permanent basis.

Goalkeeper Myhill and defender Jackman have been attracting interest from several clubs with their performances for the Hatters but McIlroy is set to get the cash to keep them at Edgeley Park.
