Barrow AFC's new manager Adam Murray is looking to make a big impact. The team suffered a disastrous 2025/2026 season, finishing 24th in League Two.

What happened?

The previous season saw five different bosses and relegation from the Football League. Chairman Paul Hornby revealed that Murray told the hierarchy he needed to come in like a 'lightning bolt'.

Why it matters for Barrow

Murray joins the club as manager, with previous incumbents being head coaches. Hornby said the club wanted to get back to what worked best previously, with the manager picking his own players.

Murray has been superb in the recruitment process, knowing the market really well. He's been around the non-league scene for a couple of years, with experience at Fylde, Kidderminster, and Eastbourne. The team is looking to bounce back from a tough season, with a focus on rebuilding and moving forward.
