Hide AdGarner said: “I’m really excited, I can’t wait to get going.
“When Barrow played Morecambe, I thought it was a very tight game with two very good sides going at it, so when I knew I was coming here, I knew I was joining a decent side.
“Personally, I want to come here to play and score as many goals as possible until the end of the season; that will hopefully help the football club move up the table.

Heading through the exit door, however, is teenager Cameron Rooney.

It is Rooney’s third loan move away from the Shrimps this season after spells at Nantwich Town and Runcorn Linnets.
