Stockport County director of football Jonathan Smith insists there is no doubt that Aston Villa attacker Louie Barry is hungry and motivated, after he returned to Edgeley Park on loan.

The 22-year-old has made his return to Stockport until the end of the season, having racked up 25 goals in 45 appearances across two loan spells at Edgeley Park between July 2023 and January 2025.

During his time with the League One outfit, Barry claimed the Player of the Month award on two occasions.
