Barrow have signed 21-year old Johnny Gorman following his release from Southport, where he has been on non-contract terms since the beginning of this campaign.

Gorman has played nine times for the senior Northern Ireland side and joins Barrow in a bid to resurrect his career.

Boss Darren Edmondson said “He will provide competition for Izak Reid and Dan Pilkington and he is basically on trial with us.”
