GOALKEEPER Andy Coughlin has signed a deal to stay at Barrow AFC for the upcoming season.

The 23-year-old Merseyside-based stopper has featured for Barrow on trial in pre-season, recently playing in the matches against Accrington Stanley and Stalybridge Celtic.

Coughlin is a former Southport and Wrexham stopper, who has made one appearance for England C, and will provide competition for regular AFC keeper Joel Dixon.

Barrow manager Paul Cox confirmed the paperwork for the move had been completed after Saturday's match against Stalybridge.
