Defender Mark Ellis has become the latest former Carlisle United player to join Barrow AFC.

The experienced centre-half has signed a two-year deal at Holker Street after leaving Tranmere Rovers.

Ellis, 32, spent the latter stages of the 2020/21 season on loan with Notts County.

But he has now made a swift return to League Two with Mark Cooper's south Cumbrians.

Ellis will join fellow ex-Blues Paul Farman, Offrande Zanzala, Patrick Brough, Jamie Devitt, Mike Jones, Tom White and Connor Brown at Barrow.

The defender's time with Carlisle, from 2015-18, saw Ellis make 71 appearances under Keith Curle.

He played under Cooper with Forest Green during a loan spell in 2017.

He is the sixth signing made so far this summer by Barrow.
