The 21-year-old forward signs for an initial one-month spell with an option to extend.

 

Last season he played for Altrincham in the National League North, scoring 4 goals in 6 appearances, including a second half hat trick in a 6-0 demolition of Curzon Ashton.

 

He had previously spent 9 games on loan at Morecambe earlier in the campaign.

 

Piggott has an impressive football CV already, having come through the ranks as a youngster at Everton and Rochdale before signing a professional deal at Dundee United in 2017, making his debut in a Scottish Cup win over Alloa Athletic.

 

He returned to his native Cheshire in 2018, signing for Warrington Town, where his goalscoring exploits caught the attention of scouts from neighbouring Wigan, and he signed for Latics in August 2018.

 

Last week he claimed another match ball after scoring 3 goals against Fleetwood Town for Wigan’s under-23s in the Central League Cup and has already scored 7 goals for the under-23s this season.

 

Gannon told https://www.stockportcounty.com: “I’m delighted to have been able to reinforce the squad and strengthen our striking options, because we have started to encounter a crop of injuries recently, so it’s important to have other options. Joe is a powerful, talented young striker and I’m pleased that he’ll be available for our game at Chorley on Saturday. He’s got good experience at the North level, and his previous record is very impressive”.
