Barrow FC have snapped up Burnley defender Jimmy Dunne on a half season loan deal.

Dunne, 19, hails from Dundalk and captained his hometown in Northern Ireland's Milk Cup.

He represented the illustrious St. Kevin's boys club earlier in his career which has seen the likes of Damian Duff, Stephen Carr and Robbie Brady rise through its ranks.

Dunn was spotted by Manchester United's Belfast academy at the age of ten. At sixteen he moved to Manchester and rose through their academy sides, making over twenty appearances for their under 18 team in the 2015/16 season. He joined Burnley on a free transfer last summer.
