Barrow have loaned midfielder Jack Earing to Hartlepool United for at least a month, a move that weakens Tamworth's upcoming opponents. The 27-year-old, who joined Barrow from Walsall last summer, has not featured for them in the National League this season after making 32 appearances last term. He will now work under head coach Pete Wild at Hartlepool, a manager he previously played for at Halifax Town earlier in his career.
This squad change comes just days before Barrow visit The Lamb Ground. Tamworth, who sit 18th in the National League with 14 points from 12 games, host the ninth-placed side on Friday, 10 October. The Lambs are in strong form, having won four of their last five matches, including a 1-0 victory over Leeds United U21 last time out.
Earing's temporary departure could impact Barrow's midfield options for the fixture. Tamworth will be looking to extend their three-game winning run and climb the standings against a side that has lost a player with recent experience in their squad. The match kicks off on Friday evening.
