Sam Foley was one of five men to take charge of a Barrow first-team match during the 2025-26 season [PA Media] Club captain Niall Canavan and midfielder Sam Foley, who ended the season in interim charge of the first team, are in a group of six players who will leave relegated Barrow this summer. Foley was the fifth man to oversee a first-team game during the 2025-26 campaign, having been given temporary control for the remainder of the season following Dino Maamria's exit in March. Barrow won two of their 11 matches under the 39-year-old and finished bottom of League Two to be relegated to the National League.
Adam Murray left Kidderminster Harriers earlier this week to become Barrow's new boss on a two-year contract. Defender Canavan, 35, joined the Bluebirds in January 2022 and made 183 appearances for the club. Connor Mahoney, Tyler Walker, Kane Hemmings and Angus MacDonald will also depart at the end of their respective contracts this summer.
However, the club has triggered an option to extend goalkeeper Wyll Stanway's contract until next summer.
