Slough Town have made a loan move for Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Killian Barrett from Barrow.

The former Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper has joined the Rebels to provide cover following an injury to Leicester City loanee Stevie Bausor.

Barrett will be well known in Berkshire football circles having played for Woodley United and Binfield, the latter side he literally saved Binfield from the drop during the 23/24 ‘Great Escape’ season with a brilliant one-v-one save late on in the game against Uxbridge that would have sent the Moles down.

A Republic of Ireland under-21 international, Barrett moved to Sheffield Wednesday in the summer of 2024 and enjoyed loan spells at Solihull Moors and Rochdale.

He subsequently moved to Barrow but the League Two side were relegated in the summer.

Ahead of a trip to Torquay United on Saturday, the Rebels have also added experienced former AFC Wimbledon defender, and Saint Lucia national team captain, Terell Thomas, while Chris Francis, Kyrie Pierre and Josh Brooking, have departed, the latter for Bracknell Town who confirmed the signing on social media.

Meanwhile, former Rebels manager Alan Julian has joined National League leaders Boreham Wood as a goalkeeper coach.

Combined Counties League Premier Division North Reading City have re-signed forward Ewan Lynch after a spell at Step 4, including time with Hungerford Town.

And speaking of the Crusaders, Nana Owusu has joined Chippenham Town on a 28-day loan deal.
