Any official word on mossop and Brett Philip's?

Expecting howarth to be our latest signing but hopefully Wilkes too just to help up top. Is thacks still a free agent. Could catch a lift with Pryce 

Sellafield news announcement both Oliver Wilkes & Liam Harrison have signed.

Really ? Those guys must really be knocking on now.

Liam was a great player , if he has signed would he be the same two years on and away from his hometown club? I'd look forward to finding out.

Both could still do another season in C1

Exactly my point .  Top guys from what we remember , I guess you’d have to trust our judgement on what they’ve got left in the tank and ultimately wait n see .

Don't think Leon would have taken a chance without doing his homework. Ollie is an evergreen unit with plenty of nous and still has an engine. Liam was always the class act in Barrow's pack until dodgy knees made him call it a day --- I am told that he's sound now and at 34ish could be a game changer for Town. All we need now is the return of the cage-fighting coalman Brett McDermott?

 

[DavidM]

And we’ve got a fair few younger and less experienced guys in the pack which no doubt is a factor in trying to gather experience from around , and successful experience in this environment 

[wonderofwood]

And let's not underestimate what Wilkes & Harrison will also give us off the pitch . Senior pro's like these will assist Leon in spades . Two excellent signings . Well done BOD

Well said?

[townie88]

These been confirmed somewhere? 

[GeordieTownie]

Sellafield probably.

[scott]

Oliver Wilkes in the news and star. Just posted on Facebook. 

[townie88]

Beyond a joke how all these signings get let out soo early before they are confirmed. 

[wonky]

Another top quality signing. Will bring on the likes of joe Ryan with his experience as well. Squad is starting to look a bit good now. 

[DavidM]

Welcome on board . Spoke extremely well and seemingly still highly motivated .  This is obviously about the whole package of what he brings to a club , and has always been a leader by example

[townie88]

I think the main comparison to be had is that the squad this year has a lot more experience than last years. The like of Wilkes,  foster, leatgerbarrow, Dawson etc have all been around a good while. I think that' what we missed at times last year. Building nicely!

[havenhater]

One thing we have lacked we finally have up top 

[Old standoff]

Great signing & would love to see us sign Liam Harrison too if he's fit and motivated  was a great player and a real handful for Barrow

Well you were bang on with newton, miller and Dawson so I’ll take your word as gospel 

[lakeland]

some very good lads signing, and wont cost much paying out travel money due to fact half of them be entitled to a free bus pass lol

Could have told you about Wilkes too. You hear a lot at work haha

[lifer]

Wilkes is a good signing but can't see what Harrison will bring to you, great player for Barrow but performance level was not that great in his last season there, then he broke his leg/ankle playing his 1st game for Barrow island, hope im proved wrong and he can roll back the years as he is a great bloke.

[westizbest]

Good signing Wilkes ... could he be the key to a couple more from Furness area ?
