Veteran striker Dean Windass has joined KoolSport NCEL Division One leaders Barton Town Old Boys and will play in their match on Bank Holiday Monday.

Windass, who scored the goal to secure Hull City's place in the Premier League for the first time in their history, will take part in Barton Town's home league clash with Yorkshire Amateur.

It came about when manager Dave Anderson found himself limited in attacking options for the game with Gareth Barlow on holiday whilst Richard Medcalf and Matty Fyvie are both suspended.

Anderson, who was a fellow apprentice with Dean during his first spell with Hull City, asked the striker to help out and he duly accepted.

The Barton boss said: "Everyone at the club is excited and overwhelmed that such a much loved and highly regarded player is helping the club out.

"It is a real coup for the club and further emphasises our desire to move forward."

With both Hull City and Scunthorpe United without a fixture on Bank Holiday Monday, Barton Town Old Boys are expecting a bumper crowd for Dean's debut.
