Guiseley AFC have sold young striker Frank Mulhern to Stockport County for an undisclosed fee.

Mulhern, 21, joined Guiseley at the start of last season from Huddersfield Town’s Under-23 Development Squad which he in turn had joined from Leeds United.

One of four members of Town’s U-23 squad released following their promotion to the Premier League Mulhern was capped by the Republic of Ireland at Under-18 and Under-19 level.

The South Elmsall raised player was in the Huddersfield Town Academy for four years joining the Terriers at Under-9 level in August 2005 before departing for Leeds United in May 2009.

He subsequently turned professional with the Elland Road club in the summer of 2015 following a two-year scholarship; a deal he extended a year later.

He played for Vanarama National League side Southport during a brief loan spell in September 2016 and then joined Guiseley at the start of last season going out on loan, lastly to Bradford Park Avenue, after Paul Cox re-jigged the Guiseley squad.

Mulhern scored two goals in the Vanarama National League last season for the Lions, the last gasp winner at home to Torquay as well as a late penalty at Maidstone United to earn a 1-1 draw.

Good luck for the future Frank and thank you for all your efforts in a Guiseley shirt!
