Lancaster City have added further defensive reinforcements with the loan signing of Pawel Zuk from EFL neighbours Barrow.

The 22 year old Polish defender who represented his country at youth level, played league football in Poland and came through the ranks at Oldham before a £400k move to Everton.

He trained with his new team-mates last night and goes straight into Saturday’s squad to face FC United.

The loan agreement is for 28 days, adding much needed depth to Mark Fell’s injury ravaged squad.
