Runcorn Linnets have signed right back Sam Barrett from Hanley Town with the player looking to put an injury-wrecked 2022-23 season firmly behind him.

Sam had joined Hanley from Glossop North End in October last year but promptly suffered a dislocated shoulder.

He can now look forward to a fresh start with Linnets.

Sam had departed GNE, having made 39 appearances with two goals.

He had signed for the Hillmen in late August 2021, following his release from Fleetwood Town and a short spell with Leek Town.

The move to Hanley took him back to his native Potteries, where he'd begun his youth career with Stoke City prior to a two-year spell in the Academy at Fleetwood.

Welcome to Linnets, Sam. We hope you enjoy your stay.
