Tansey scored Stockport's last goal in the Football League at the end of 2010/11 season, a penalty in the tenth minute of added time. This was Stockport's last league goal as their 106 year unbroken membership came to an end with their relegation to the non-league pyramid.[7]
In May 2011 he was offered a new one year deal by the club[8] but at the end of the month it was reported that a free transfer move to Inverness Caledonian Thistle of the Scottish Premier League was possible.[9]
