Consett bring in midfielder on loan
Consett AFC have signed Blyth Spartans midfielder Danny Barlow on a month-long loan.
The 23-year-old has been with the National League North side for a year after first signing on dual-registration from Whickham.
He made 11 appearances last season, scoring once, and was a key part of the side as they successfully fought relegation.
Barlow represented England U18s Schoolboys before heading out to the USA on a scholarship.
Turning out for Saginaw Valley State University, he managed 15 goals and five assists in 16 appearances, earning his side’s Player of the Year award for the 2020-21 season.
At the end of that season he returned to England, signing for Whickham in December 2021, and joining Blyth Spartans (then managed by former Consett boss Terry Mitchell) on dual-registration in February 2022.
He is expected to go straight into the squad for tonight’s trip to North Shields.
Consett AFC chairman Frank Bell said: “Danny has played at a good level, and is joining us on a month’s loan. We’d like to thank Blyth Spartans for their assistance in making this happen.”
