Tranmere Rovers manager John Barnes has awarded youth team goalkeeper Joe Collister with professional forms at Prenton Parker.

The 17-year-old has penned a two-year professional contract with the League One side to act as a reserve for recent loan signing Luke Daniels.

"If Collister works hard and has the right attitude he could have a bright future in the game," said youth coach Shaun Garnett.

"It is fantastic to see another player come through the Centre of Excellence."

Chief executive Mick Horton added: "Joe is the latest in a long list of players to sign a professional contract from our very successful youth development programme.

"This shows the ongoing commitment that the club has towards young players."
