Luke Barlow is a Lilywhite!

We’re delighted to announce the signing of Defender, Luke Barlow!

Luke (23) started his footballing career in the Crewe Alexandra academy before moving to Kilmarnock FC where he signed his first professional contract.

Bury-based Luke has plenty of Northern Premier League experience having represented both Ramsbottom United and, more recently, Stalybridge Celtic who he made 10 appearances for last season.

On confirming the signing of Luke, David Fish told us, “Luke is a player I’ve tried to sign before. He’s versatile, athletic and has a lot of experience at this level and the level above for a 23 year old.

“When I spoke to him it was clear how keen he was to join us and that sealed the deal for me. His personality, attitude and ability make him a great addition to the squad.”

Welcome to Seel Park, Luke!
