With Yusuf Mersin’s departure the Tigers have moved to bring in Li-Bau Stowell on loan from Championship side Preston North End until the end of the season.

Born in Hong Kong, the 17-year-old goalkeeper, who first joined North End as an U10, is highly rated having put pen to paper on a three-year contract at Deepdale in the summer with the club holding the option to extend by an additional 12 months.

Stowell is no stranger to the Northern Premier Division having spent a short time on loan at Warrington Town in August where he made three appearances.

Welcome Li-Bau
