BARROW AFC have parted company with three of their first team coaching staff.

The club have announced that first team coach Alex Meechan, sports therapist Dan Anderton and strength and conditioning coach Paddy Maher have departed as part of a major reshuffle at Holker Street. 

The Bluebirds are set announce the trio's replacements over the next couple of days.

A club statement read: "After careful consideration and due process, Barrow’s board of directors and manager Paul Cox have agreed to completely reconfigure the playing support staff both in terms of structure and personnel.

"This means that first team coach Alex Meechan, sports therapist Dan Anderton and strength and conditioning coach Paddy Maher have left the club with immediate effect.

"The club would like to place on record their thanks to Meechan, who has been at Holker Street since the summer of 2013, when he was brought in by Dave Bayliss following relegation from the then Conference Premier.

"Barrow AFC also thank Anderton and Maher who came in as part of Darren Edmondson’s backroom team."
