BARROW AFC forward Richie Bennett has joined Scunthorpe United on a loan move until the end of the season, the club has confirmed.

The Bluebirds also confirmed that the deal includes a recall period for the first 28 days, where the front man can return from Glanford Park to the SO Legal Stadium.

Bennett re-joined Barrow last summer from Sutton United following spells at Carlisle United, Morecambe, Port Vale and Stockport County.

An injury in pre-season saw Bennett sidelined for a number of months, and since returning to action in November he has featured 14 times for the Cumbrian club.
