ALEX MEECHAN has assumed the role of player-coach at Conference North club Barrow.
The 33-year-old held a similar role at AFC Telford United last season but was not offered a new deal by the Bucks’ new boss Liam Watson.
Both Telford and Barrow were relegated from the Blue Square Bet Premier last term meaning the vastly-experienced midfielder will come up against his former club during the 2013/14 campaign.
