Defensive reinforcements for Stalybridge

Stalybridge Celtic have signed young Salford City defender Jacob Lara on a work experience loan until February 19.

He will link up with Ammies team-mate and fellow loanee DJ Pedro, who arrived at Bower Fold last week.

A regular for Salford City’s U18s, Lara originally started out as a striker before transitioning into a central defender.

The teenager joins Chris Willcock’s side ahead of Saturday’s home game against Gainsborough Trinity in the Northern Premier League.
