Conor McAleny scored hat-tricks against Bury and Chesterfield while on loan with Oxford last season

Fleetwood Town have signed striker Conor McAleny on a three-year contract after he was released by Everton.

Academy graduate McAleny, 24, made just three appearances for Everton, but scored 10 goals in 19 appearances on loan with Oxford United last season.

He has also spent time on loan at Scunthorpe United, Brentford, Cardiff City, Charlton and Wigan.

"Conor has turned down a number of clubs in the Championship to sign," said Fleetwood chairman Andy Pilley. external-link
