York City have signed former Stoke City left-back Ben Barber on a two-year contract.
Barber came through Manchester United’s academy before joining Stoke in 2014, but did not play a first-team game.
He scored his first professional goal during a loan spell with non-league Droylsden in November 2015.
“Jackie McNamara’s philosophy and how he wanted the team to play next season impressed me,” the 21-year-old told the club website.[1]
“Non-league football has definitely helped me progress and become mentally and physically stronger, especially at Droylsden because it was men’s football.”
Barber is York City’s seventh signing of the summer[2] after they were relegated to the National League last season.
