We are delighted to announce the signing of attacking midfielder Owen Barker.
The 20-year-old joins the Shakers after being released by Everton in the summer. He’s progressed through the ranks playing both in U18s Premier League and Premier League 2 for the Toffees.
Last season he made 16 appearances for the club, including an appearance off the bench in the EFL Trophy at Accrington and being in the squad for the first team’s trip to Southampton in the EFL Cup.
Upon signing for the club, Owen said: “I’m buzzing to sign and join this big club, can’t wait to play in front of the fans at Gigg Lane and help the team as much as possible. Up the Shakers.”
Owen will be available for selection for tomorrow’s fixture against Chasetown.
New signings are brought to you in association with S&S Northern.
