Sam Barratt makes short-term Maidenhead United return

Barratt returns for a third spell at York Road

Sam Barratt has returned to Vanarama National League Maidenhead United on a short-term loan.

The attacker will bolster Alan Devonshire’s forward options for a month after agreeing a loan deal from Barnet.

Barratt played 170 times for the Magpies in his two previous spells either side of a move to Southend United – then a Football League side.

Maidenhead have seen an upturn in results in recent weeks beating Eastleigh and FC Halifax Town with Solihull Moors featuring another former midfielder, Josh Kelly, up next.
