TWO player movements today - one in and one out!

Moving away from North Wales will be Simon Spender, who will head up to Barrow to help Dave Bayliss and the Cumbrians in their battle to avoid relegation.

Meanwhile, after two months on loan with York City, the versatile Kyle Critchell returns to the Racecourse, fit and raring to be a part of the promotion chasing squad.

Simon was unfortunate to be injured in the game with Torquay United last September, a few days before Dean Saunders took over.

Since recovering from his elbow injury, Simon has played twice and co-incidentally his comeback game was as a substitute at Barrow on Boxing Day.

"I got a call last night with the offer and after thinking it over with my family, I was happy to accept the opportunity," said the defender.

"I'm looking forward to being involved again and every game will be important as Barrow battle to stay in this division.

"We will be training near Blackburn, rather than travelling all the way to ground, and the manager has arranged for me to get a lift up for games.

"After spending my entire career to date with Wrexham, it will be a change and I hope one I enjoy."

Although the deal will take him through to the end of this season, he will have a 24-hour recall clause available after 28 days and won't be eligible for selection in our remaining match with the Bluebirds.

The two clubs have a very good working relationship and the deal was easily concluded.

International clearance is the next hurdle and that should be granted tomorrow, allowing Simon to be in line to face Histon at Holker Street later in the day - before a trip to Torquay at the weekend.

For Kyle, a run in the first team at York has done him the world of good.

"I really enjoyed my time in Yorkshire," he said.

"It's a good club with a nice family atmosphere and I hope they continue to pick up the points to remain well clear of any late concerns about relegation.

"They also have the FA Trophy to aim for, starting with this weekend's semi-final first leg with AFC Telford.

"I will bring back a number of happy memories about my time there."

Kyle played six BSP matches for City and also was involved in their Trophy ties with Oxford, Kidderminster and Havant.
