Barrow have signed Stockport winger Ben Whitfield on a two-year deal.

The 26-year-old has moved to the Bluebirds for a free transfer, with the Hatters retaining a sell-on fee.

He scored twice in 15 league appearances last season as Stockport won promotion to League Two.

"Ben moves on with everyone's best wishes. I know it's been a really tough decision that he's had to make," Hatters boss Dave Challinor told the club website.
