Barrow AFC have announced the departure of defender Charlie Raglan following a mutual agreement to terminate his contract. The 33-year-old joined the Bluebirds in June 2025 and featured in 34 matches during the 2025/26 campaign. The club currently sit 22nd in the National League with 0 points from 2 games, having lost both matches this season.
What happened?
Charlie Raglan's time at Barrow has come to an end after the club and player agreed to part ways. The centre-back signed for the Bluebirds ahead of last season and became a regular in the starting lineup, making 34 appearances across all competitions. However, with the team struggling in the early stages of the 2026/27 campaign, sitting bottom of the National League with two consecutive defeats, the club has decided to make changes.
Why it matters for Barrow
Raglan's departure leaves a gap in Barrow's defensive lineup as they look to turn their fortunes around. The Bluebirds have conceded 4 goals in their first 2 games while scoring just 1, leaving them with a -3 goal difference. Manager Pete Wild will now need to find a replacement or reshuffle his backline ahead of their next fixture against Scunthorpe United on February 16, 2027.
What comes next?
Barrow will be looking to strengthen their squad during the transfer window to address their defensive issues. With the team yet to pick up a point this season, time is of the essence for Wild and his coaching staff. The club has thanked Raglan for his contributions and wishes him well in his future endeavours.
