Iron to Channel for talent

Fans favourite Baraclough is suprised that few players have made the step up from the Channel Islands in recent years.

"The problem is that clubs simply do not come over to have a look anymore," he told BBC Channel Islands.

Baraclough is planning a pre-season tour of Jersey, where United will face the hosts and a French League club.

"I hope it happens the club are really keen and I keep on at the manager [Nigel Adkins] about it," he said.

"I think it will be a great experience for the lads and give the club a chance to become better known in the Channel Islands.

"Who knows we may find another Graeme [Le Saux] or Matt [Le Tissier] in the process."
