Stockport County boss Jim Gannon has revealed he failed with a bid to take Kevin Cooper back to Edgeley Park on loan last week.

The 31-year-old winger is currently out of favour at Cardiff City and was a loan target for several League One and League Two clubs before signing a one-month deal with Yeovil Town.

"We were made aware that Kevin was available for loan and there was talk about him going to Bristol Rovers so we saw a golden opportunity to lure him to a League Two side," Gannon told the Manchester Evening News.

"But we will keep working on bringing in quality players."

Cooper made over 150 Football League appearances for Stockport between 1997 and 2001.
