ANOTHER Barrow AFC fans group has voted John Rooney as the player of the season for their table topping side.

The Holker street midfield hero has won both the National Supporters Club and Bluebirds Trust Player of the Season. Both accolades are voted on by the fans.

Andy McKinnon, chairman of the National Supporters Club, said "John Rooney has been a revelation this season. His workrate is phenomenal, he bosses the midfield.

"He is the Frank Lampard of non league. He's both a great midfielder and a great goalscorer."

McKinnon added: "This has been a season where Ian Evatt's team has taken football to a different level. We've never seen non league football played like this."

Both organisations hope to be able to present the award at a future date.

Barrow still await a decision on whether the league leaders will join League Two, having been top of the National League since November.
