Barrow

Barrow have brought in goalkeeper Noah Cooper and defender Adam Alimi-Adetoro to further boost their squad for the National League.

Cooper, 20, has joined on loan from Stoke City, while Alimi-Adetoro was at Halifax Town for two years before leaving in the summer.

Having trained with the Bluebirds for a few weeks, the 24-year-old Irishman has signed a permanent contract, the length of which has not been revealed.

Alimi-Adetaro has gone straight onto the substitutes' bench for the game at Tamworth (15:00 BST).

Hartlepool United have signed Barrow midfielder Jack Earing on an initial short-term loan.

Earing, 27, will be with the Pools for at least one month working under head coach Pete Wild, as he did earlier in his career at Halifax Town.

The midfielder joined Barrow from Walsall in the summer of 2025 and played 32 times last season, but he has not featured at all for the Bluebirds in the National League this campaign.

National League side Barrow have strengthened their squad by signing midfielders Arian Allen, who arrives on loan from Stockport County, and Corey Edwards.

Edwards, 19, was released by Rochdale in the summer after helping them win promotion to the EFL and rejected other offers to play first-team football with Barrow.

Allen, 19, who began his career at Everton's academy and had a spell with Rangers, joined Halifax Town in July and made four substitute appearances for the National League side before he was recalled by Stockport.

He made four appearances for League One Stockport last season, including his debut in August 2025 against Crewe Alexandra in the Carabao Cup.

Barrow have brought in winger Seb Thompson after he left Kidderminster Harriers last month.

Thompson, 23, had made substitute appearances in the Harriers' first three league games this season before his contract was cancelled by mutual consent.

He scored nine goals in 35 games last season as he helped Kidderminster win promotion and he has now been reunited with his old boss at Aggborough, Adam Murray.

Thompson went straight into the Barrow squad for their match away to Worthing.
