Scott Smith played 94 games for Wigan after coming through the club's youth ranks

Barrow have agreed a two-year contract with Scott Smith after the midfielder left Wigan Athletic.

Smith, 24, will join the League Two club on 1 July on a deal that runs until June 2027.

He made 94 appearances for the Latics, scoring twice, but he will now link up with Andy Whing's Bluebirds.

"Scott loves a tackle, and I think the fans will love the way he plays and the aggressiveness within his game," Whing told the club's website.

"I think he'll be a fantastic signing for us."
