Lynch, who has already signed former Salford City and Southport defender Billy Priestley, has now brought in winger Danny Pilkington.

 

The 30-year-old joins the Blues from NPL Premier Division side Lancaster City, who he switched to in January from rivals Bamber Bridge.

 

He had joined Brig in June 2019 after a short time out of the game.

 

He is no stranger to promotion, having been a part of the teams that saw both York City and Barrow promoted.

 

He started his career with Atherton Colleries, Kendal Town and Chorley, before moving up the pyramid in 2008 when he joined Stockport County in League One.

 

During three seasons he made 43 appearances scoring once, before joining York in 2011.

 

He won promotion with York in his one season there, with 18 appearances scoring twice.

 

He dropped back into the National League to join Kidderminster Harriers in in 2012, going on to make 26 appearances and scoring twice.

 

In 2013 he joined Hereford United going onto make 13 appearances, before joining Barrow in 2014.

 

He was part of the promotion-winning squad with the Bluebirds, making 24 appearances during that season, scoring 6 goals.

 

Then 2015 saw chances much more limited in the National League, with only one appearance, and he joined Stalybridge Celtic, but struggled to get into the starting line-up and moved to Tameside neighbours Hyde United in 2017.
