Barkhuizen Joins Shrimps On Loan


Former Bulls loanee Tom Barkhuizen has joined Morecambe on loan for an initial month.

The 21 year old Blackpool forward netted 12 goals in 39 appearances for the Bulls during the 2011/12 season, but netted just once in 14 games for Fleetwood on loan the following season. He played 15 times for Blackpool last season, almost entirely from the bench, scoring twice but hasn't featured once this term.

Shrimps boss Jim Bentley told the club's official site: "I noticed Tom a couple of seasons ago when he was at Hereford. He scored a few goals for them that year and did really well for such a young lad.

"He is someone with pace who has an eye for goal and I am sure he will be a good addition to our squad.''
