Josh Lillis is to continue his role as back-up player and goalkeeping coach with Barrow after agreeing a new one-year deal.
Lillis, who will be 36 next week, initially joined the Bluebirds in the summer of 2020 following his release by Rochdale and then manager David Dunn employed him as Player/Goalkeeper Coach.
So far he has only been called up to play three times but is a respected member of the coaching staff.
The experienced shot-stopper holds Dale’s appearance record for a goalkeeper and also boasts their clean sheet record after playing over 350 games during a successful eight-year spell at Spotland.
Lillis, the son of a former keeper Mark, came through the ranks at Scunthorpe United and went on to make his senior debut for The Iron in a game at Millwall in December 2006.
He built up first team experience with loan spells at Notts County, Grimsby Town and two temporary switches to Rochdale before making a permanent Dale move in 2012.
Lillis was released by Rochdale in 2020 and was drafted in as Player Goalkeeper Coach with The Bluebirds, signing a new two-year deal to stay at the Club in the summer of 2021, before extending his stay again today
