Departing Fleetwood midfielder Haughton's fond farewell
Haughton was crowned Fleetwood’s young player of the year in the 2014/15 season, but after making 30 appearances for Town in League One he found first-team opportunities limited after the arrival of Uwe Rosler in the summer of 2016.
Now after a blistering 25-game, 13-goal loan spell at National League North side Chorley, the 23-year-old has been snapped up by their non-league rivals and leaders of the division Salford City for an undisclosed fee.

He said: “I just want to say thank you to everyone at Fleetwood for my time there – a very ambitious club that is only going in one direction.
“I appreciate the opportunity I was given. I’ve had some great times there and met some friends for life.”
