Former Blackburn Rovers midfielder, Rekeem Harper, has joined the former Ewood Park union at Barrow.
The midfielder appeared four times for Rovers in a short loan spell back in 2017. Since then, he's had seven different clubs and has now settled in League Two.
Remarkably, Harper is only 25 and will join Barrow on a two-year deal when his contract with Port Vale expires at the end of the month. He played 21 times for The Valiants and scored one goal for Darren Moore’s side as they earned promotion to League One.

Speaking about signing for Barrow, Rekeem said: “It’s amazing to finally get it done, I spoke to the Gaffer recently and our ambitions aligned, and I’m happy to finally be here at this football club.
“It’s a fearless club who wants to climb the ladder and the table, and I want to be at a club with a winning environment and at a team who have ambitions to do big things, so that stood out to me.”
There are plenty of former Rovers connections at Barrow. Sam Barnes, released by Rovers last summer, and Connor Mahoney play for the club whilst Leo Duru was on loan in the second half of last season too.
