It's rare that defenders are valued at 3m in the third tier of English football, but Stockport County's Ethan Pye fits that bill. The 23-year-old has already racked up over 125 appearances for the Hatters, and has frequently been eyed by clubs in higher divisions. Never heard of him? Not to worry: here's your quick scout report on the centre-back.

Nevertheless, embarking on what has been a public fairytale since opening up the 2025/26 campaign, Dave Challinor's men are leading the chase at the top of the League One table. Now pencilled in as a standout contender to book a sensational Championship return, the Hatters have broken plenty of long-standing records. Getting November underway with a dominant 3-1 victory away at Tranmere, the Manchester-based outfit have won each of their other four appearances across all competitions.
