Sheffield United starlet and Barrow defender join Mariners...

Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Marine announces the signing of two more players at the Arriva Stadium this week in a continued drive to improve the squad and move up the table.

Joining Marine on a work experience agreement with Sheffield United is 6ft 3 striker Dan Cockerline. The Warrington based 18 year old goalscorer for the United Under-18 team has just completed a loan period at Grantham Town before the Blades agreed a move this week to the Crosby club.

Also joining the Mariners from Barrow is Liverpool based defender Liam Willis on loan for one month. The former youth player with Wigan Athletic made his Football League debut with Accrington Stanley in 2012 before moving to Southport where he made 16 appearances in the Conference. He joined Barrow on contract in 2013 after a short loan period with them.

Marine Chairman Paul Leary said:

“We are continuing with our efforts to improve the numbers and quality of our squad and the signing of Dan and Liam are welcome arrivals at the Arriva Stadium. Dan is an exciting youngster who will literally add height to the front-line and Liam is an experienced player who will add to our defensive options.”

Marine Manager Carl Macauley added:

“I am pleased that Liam has agreed to join us and I thank the Sheffield United Academy staff for the agreement for Dan to sign for Marine on a work experience arrangement. These are two more signings for our Club as I continue to sign players that will have an impact on our fortunes.”
