Tranmere have completed the signing of defender Luke Waterfall from Barnsley on a one-year deal.

The 17-year-old was an ever-present figure in the Tykes' reserve and youth sides last term but failed to win a professional contract at the end of the season.

Manager Ronnie Moore said: "Luke is a very talented young defender. He's big and strong, comfortable on the ball and knows how to tackle.

"He has a promising future ahead of him and I'm delighted to be able to bring him to Tranmere."

The teenager will be available for the home pre-season friendlies against Bolton on July 29 and Blackpool on August 2.
