Former Stockport County midfielder Odin Bailey has joined Portsmouth on a 3-year-deal until the summer of 2029.

Bailey, 26, becomes the club's first summer signing and arrived on a free having seen out the expiration of his contract at Edgeley Park on June 30th.

Last term, he played an important role on the way to getting Stockport to the League One Play-Off Final, where they fell short to Bolton Wanderers at Wembley.

The former England youth international scored 12 goals in 140 appearances for The Hatters since his arrival, initially on loan from Salford City, in 2023. He signed permanently for the Manchester-based side in 2024.

Speaking about the arrival of Bailey to the South Coast, Blues boss John Mousinho said: "Odin is a versatile player who joins us following an excellent season at Stockport.

"He will provide us with real quality in the final third and is also at a good age to continue to develop as a footballer.

"We're delighted to get our first signing of the summer transfer window over the line and I'm excited to start working with Odin as we continue our preparations for the new Championship campaign."
