Midfielder Luke Joyce is back at Brunton Park following his five-week loan spell with Barrow.

Joyce, 21, joined up with the FA Cup heroes at the end of November and made an immediate impact in front of the TV cameras in the Holker Street outfit's second round victory over Brentford.

The former Wigan man has six months left on his current contract and is looking forward to fighting for a place in the first team on his return to his parent club.
