Maamria completes backroom team at Barrow

Barrow manager Dino Maamria has completed his backroom team with the appointments of Simon Ireland and Ali Uzunhasanoglu.

Former midfielder Ireland, who coached alongside Maamria in Burnley's academy while the pair were still playing, has moved from League One strugglers Port Vale to become assistant head coach.

Uzunhasanoglu joins as goalkeeping coach having worked with the new Bluebirds manager at Preston North End, Stevenage and Oldham.

The pair will be in the dugout alongside Maamria and first team coach David Worrall for Saturday's game against Gillingham.
