Stockport defender Jimmy McNulty could be fit to face Darlington on Saturday after recovering from an ankle injury.

McNulty played half of Monday's Manchester Senior Cup tie against Bury before declaring himself ready for a full return to action.

The 23-year-old told BBC Radio Manchester: "It was planned I would play 45 minutes to get some action.

"I wanted to play a bit extra but we stuck to the plan as I needed some competitive minutes under my belt."
