Greatorex has joined the Gladiators on a month's loan from SkyBet Championship side Barnsley, having first joined their academy as a 7-year-old in May 2008.

He has represented Barnsley at various age groups and played an integral role in the Reds’ under-23 team in their 2017/18 Professional Development campaign.

Standing at 6’1”, Greatorex turned in some impressive performances and has also had a loan spell at Toolstation Northern Counties East League outfit Penistone Church.

He extended his stay at Oakwell for a further year last summer and has regularly been involved with the first team, training with them on a daily basis and being part of the matchday squad when Barnsley were without regular custodians Adam Davies and Jack Walton.
