Cook netted three goals in four matches for Barrow last term

Carlisle United striker Andy Cook has joined Blue Square Bet Premier side Barrow on a one-month loan deal.

Cook, 19, returns to Holker Street having scored three goals in four games during last season's loan before a foot injury forced an early return.

"It's an ideal move as it keeps him playing football and hopefully scoring," United boss Greg Abbott said.

"He's done well in pre-season but this will give him regular first team football with a competitive edge."

Cook added: "He enjoyed his loan spell with them last season and we know that Darren [Sheridan] and Dave [Bayliss] will look after him well."

The teenager, who also spent time with Blue Square North outfit Workington Reds, signed a one-year extension to his contract at Carlisle in June.

Meanwhile, the Bluebirds will include former Swindon Town and Rotherham left-back Andrew Nicholas in their side for Saturday's friendly against Bolton.
