Barrow's National League rivals strengthen with title-winning midfielder AFC Fylde have signed Greg Olley, the former York City midfielder who won the National League title last season. The Coasters continue their summer recruitment ahead of their visit to Woking this weekend. League standing: 22nd in National League, 0 pts, 0W-0D-2L from 2 games, recent form LL. ## What does this mean for Barrow? While Barrow struggle at the bottom of the table with no points from their opening two games, AFC Fylde are strengthening their squad with proven winners like Olley. The former Gateshead captain brings championship experience to Fylde's push for promotion.

Who is Greg Olley? Olley, 28, was a key player in York City's title-winning campaign last season. Though he didn't feature in York's League Two opener, he now joins Fylde on a permanent deal. The midfielder told Fylde's website: "It’s a privilege to be here. I’m excited to get going and translate my pre-season form to league games." ## What comes next for Barrow? With goals conceded (4) outweighing goals scored (1), Barrow face a tough away trip to Scunthorpe on February 16, 2027. Manager Lee Clark will hope his side can turn their form around soon.
