Defensive duo arrive at Bamber Bridge

Bamber Bridge have announced the arrival of defenders Liam Brockbank and Will Squires.

The pair have featured for the Brig during pre-season and done enough to secure permanent deals ahead of the forthcoming campaign.

Left-back Brockbank, 23, arrives from Altrincham and has plenty of Northern Premier League experience from his time at Lancaster City and Workington.

Over the past two seasons, Brockbank made eight appearances in the National League for the Robins, including three during the 2023/24 campaign.

He spent the second half of last season on loan at fellow NPL side Warrington Rylands. During the 12 games he was in the team, the Blues kept five clean sheets.

Additionally, 20-year-old central defender Will Squires makes the move to the SFC Stadium from League One side Blackpool.

Squires began last season on loan at Bamber Bridge. He made seven appearances before he was recalled to make his Tangerines debut in the EFL Trophy against Liverpool’s U21s.

He had loan spells later in the season with Southport in the National League North, then Hyde United in the NPL.

Jamie Milligan’s side begin their league campaign with a trip to Whitby Town on Saturday 10 August.
