and live on Freeview channel 276
Jack Marriott was unable to make any sort of impact at Hillsborough in an ill-fated and injury-battered loan spell from Derby County during the 2020/21 season.
But he has been offered a fresh start by the west coast outfit after a return to Peterborough United turned sour this season.

Hide AdFleetwood have been busy this month and add Marriott to their squad on a two-and-a-half year deal. A fee of around £250,000 has been reported this week.
He’s been joined at Highbury by Jayden Stockley, who was of interest to the Owls in the two previous transfer windows but has since fallen down the pecking order at Charlton Athletic.
Wednesday will make the trip to Highbury on Tuesday next week (February 7) for the completion of their FA Cup fourth round tie after a 1-1 draw at S6 over the weekend.
Marriott and Stockley are eligible to play for their new side in their League One clash with Burton Albion on Saturday – but neither will play a part in what will be the fourth meeting in just over a month between Fleetwood and Wednesday – because they are cup tied.

“He's someone who we have kept an eye on and monitored for the last few months and we are delighted to finally have him signed on and with the squad.”
