Welcome to Chester FC, George Barlow!

Chester FC are delighted to announce the signing of young goalkeeper George Barlow!

The 18-year-old has put pen-to-paper on a one-year-deal at the Deva, with an option to extend further.

George most recently plied his trade for Bolton Wanderers, where he was involved in the Trotters’ B team setup.

The shot-stopper joins a tight-knit goalkeeping group down CH1, including Lewys Benjamin, Alex Brown and Billy Davies, who will all be looking to develop throughout the 25/26 season under the guidance of goalkeeper coach Neil Ebbrell.

Calum was pleased after the deal for Barlow was secured: “The increase to naming 7 substitutes this season makes it easier to name a goalkeeper on the bench without limiting outfield options,” he said.

“Alex Brown and Billy Davies will continue their development on their respective loans so it was important to add another goalkeeper to the group that will be part of the 18-man Matchday Squad.”

Welcome to CH1, George!
