Shrimps agree compensation deal for Barkhuizen

THE Shrimps have agreed a compensation deal with Preston North End for former winger Tom Barkhuizen.

The 23-year-old, who left the Shrimps last week, has signed a pre-contract agreement at Deepdale and will be eligible to play from January 1.

The two clubs have struck a compensation deal, Morecambe having retained their right to claim training compensation when cancelling his contract by mutual consent.

Barkhuizen said: “Over the last 18 months at Morecambe getting regular game time, I feel I have improved as a player massively, my all-round game has improved.

“Hopefully this time back in the Championship I will be able to show that I’m a better player than when I left the division when I was 20.

“This is an exciting challenge for me.”

Barkhuizen started his career as a trainee at Blackpool, where he worked under Steve Thompson who is now PNE’s first-team coach. He gained first-team experience during loan spells with Hereford United and Fleetwood Town, returning to play Championship football with the Seasiders.

As did one of my colleagues this afternoon, although his mood was tempered when I told him Barky came from Blackpool...

I take it that all these Preston supporters who are thanking us for Tom will be showing their gratitude if we ever have to raise some money for the survival of our club

To be fair to Preston, they did cover the cost of our overheads for 2 months which, at the time, saved us from potential armageddon
