The Verdict: A move that makes sense
The striker could be a solid addition for Moore’s side, having scored eight goals and registered two assists on loan at Charlton Athletic last season.
While not necessarily prolific, he could be a good squad player, with his 6ft 3in frame making him a handful for opposition defenders.
Stockley won an incredible 9.8 aerial battles per game for the Addicks, highlighting what a monstrous presence he can be in the air, which could come in very handy in League One.
