Barrow Raiders are delighted to announce the signings of Gary Wheeler and Liam Harrison for the remainder of the 2021 League 1 season.

Wheeler, 31, began his career at St Helens, where he made his first-team debut in 2008 in the Challenge Cup.

He has also previously featured for Warrington and Toronto, while earning one cap for England.

Harrison will be a familiar name within the Barrow fans, with the 37-year-old linking up with brother Ben at the Matt Johnson Prestige Stadium.

He made more than 300 appearances for his hometown club between 2005 and 2016, and was part of the 2009 Championship winning team, when he was also named in the league's team of the year.

Club chairman, Steve Neale, said: "I’m absolutely delighted with the signings. It’s another statement of intent around the quality of personnel we are recruiting and when we get our injured stars back there will now be an embarrassment of riches and real selection headaches.

"Barrow Raiders are determined to gain promotion to complement all the great work that has been going on off the field."

The Raiders host Workington Town this Sunday in Betfred League 1, with free entry for fans before 1:00pm.
