Barrow have taken Workington Reds goalkeeper Aaron Taylor on trial.

The Bluebirds, who were promoted from the Blue Square North last season, are looking to add a second goalkeeper to their squad as cover for Tim Deasy.

Taylor, who is second-choice at the Reds, has been training with Barrow and will play in the club's first friendly against a Furness XI this weekend.

�Aaron is looking to take his career forward," Workington manager Darren Edmondson told BBC Radio Cumbria.

Barrow played the majority of their games last season without a keeper on the bench and joint managers Dave Bayliss and Darren Sheridan have made a back-up option one of their priorities this summer.

I don't want to lose him, because I think he has a lot to offer Darren Edmondson

Taylor made a handful of appearances for the Reds last season, deputising for Adam Collin, and impressed on each occasion.

�I don't want to lose him, because I think he has a lot to offer," Edmondson added.

The former Penrith and Carlisle City goalkeeper made his Blue Square North debut in September last year.
