Barrow sign Jackson & Eccleston from Huddersfield

Ben Jackson has signed a three-year contract with Barrow

Barrow have signed defenders Ben Jackson and Neo Eccleston from Huddersfield Town.

The League Two side paid an undisclosed fee for 23-year-old left-back Jackson and have agreed a season-long loan deal with Eccleston, 20.

The pair are the seventh and eighth signings of the summer for the Cumbrian club.

Jackson, who featured in 27 matches in the Championship with The Terriers last season, has agreed a three-year deal with Barrow.

The full-back said he was convinced the club can push for the League Two play-offs this season.

"I saw it as a good opportunity to come and play football in a team where the ambition is the get promoted and be in and around the play-offs," Jackson told the club website.

Eccleston was part of Chelsea's youth setup but is yet to make a first-team appearance for Huddersfield.

"It feels amazing, it feels good to get started, get up here and I can’t wait to make a name for myself," Eccleston said.
