Barrow AFC have confirmed the departure of midfielder Charlie McCann, who has joined Cheltenham Town for a permanent transfer. McCann, who only joined the club last summer, decided to make the move to stay in the English Football League following Barrow's relegation to the National League. Adam Murray, the manager of Barrow AFC, stated that the club tried to keep McCann, but he wanted to stay in the EFL. McCann scored 8 goals and assists for the Bluebirds across 38 appearances in all competitions during the 2025/26 season. The club wishes him all the best for the future. McCann's decision to leave was likely influenced by the club's relegation, which has led to a number of players leaving the club. Barrow AFC will need to rebuild their squad for the upcoming season in the National League. The club's fans will be disappointed to see McCann leave, but they will be hoping that the club can bring in some new signings to strengthen the team. The transfer window is still open, and Barrow AFC will be looking to make some new additions to their squad. The club's manager, Adam Murray, will be working hard to bring in some new players and prepare the team for the upcoming season.
