Barrow manager Andy Whing is confident that good foundations have been laid to allow the team to kick on next season.

The Bluebirds are 16th in League Two heading into their final match at Colchester, but on a run of only one defeat in 12 games.

Since replacing Stephen Clemence in January, Whing believes he has put in place the building blocks to push higher up the league in 2025-26.

"Next year we want to be in those pressurised situations at the top end of the table and hopefully we're laying those foundations for that now," he told BBC Radio Cumbria.

Whing is thrilled at how his players have not let up despite their League Two status long being assured for next season.

"The biggest thing for me is I see smiles on faces and the lads enjoying it," he said.

"If the lads enjoy where they work and where they play, that is a big positive for us. Culture and environment is massive and I think we've got that in the last few weeks."
