Barwell Bring in New Wide Man

Injury-hit Canaries sign winger.

Barwell faced Pitching In Southern League Premier Division Central rivals Alvechurch in the League Cup on Monday night with a depleted side due to injuries.

And included in the Yellows` new-look side was a new signing in wide player Lucas Powell, who joins from Midland League Premier Division side Gresley Rovers.

The 20-year-old signed for the Moatmen last month and made 4 appearances, scoring one goal.

Powell had been on the books at League One Wigan Athletic, playing for their under-23 side.

After being released by Championship outfit Birmingham City at the end of the 2019/20 season, he trialled with Vanarama National League North side AFC Telford United before being given a chance at Wigan.

Powell joined Birmingham in 2010 after being scouted in Sunday League football.

He rose up through the youth ranks and was a regular for the under-18 side.

The teenager wasn’t able to make the step up into the Blues’ first-team though and they made the decision to part company with him at the end of the 2019/20 season.
