Barrow sign Raglan, Shipley & Adu-Poku

Charlie Raglan achieved promotion through the play-offs with Oldham

Barrow have signed defender Charlie Raglan from newly promoted League Two rivals Oldham, Lewis Shipley from Norwich and teenage winger Michael Adu-Poku on loan from Watford.

Raglan, 32, has put pen to paper on a two-year deal at The SO Legal Stadium, which will see him link up with boss Andy Whing for a second time following a spell at Oxford United.

Defender Shipley has joined from Norwich City on a two year contract after being released by the Canaries at the end of last season.

The 21-year-old spent 2023-24 on loan at Accrington Stanley and played 10 games in another temporary spell, at Cheltenham Town, last season before being recalled by Norwich in January.

Watford youth product Adu-Poku, 19, has joined on loan until the end of the 2025-26 season. He played six National League games on loan for Rochdale last season, following a spell at Solihull Moors earlier in the campaign.
