Ian Evatt played in the Premier League for Derby County and BlackpoolBolton Wanderers are expected to name Barrow boss Ian Evatt as their new manager, reports BBC Radio Cumbria. Bolton and Barrow will both play in League Two next season, after Wanderers were relegated from the third tier. Former Derby, Chesterfield and Blackpool defender Evatt was appointed into his first full-time managerial role by Barrow in the summer of 2018. It is understood that Evatt will be assisted at Bolton by his number two at Barrow, former Sheffield Wednesday defender Peter Atherton. For the first nine games last season, Barrow only picked up seven points, but he persisted with the style he believed in and he got his rewards.
