Sam Fishburn joins Ashington on loan

Scunthorpe United can confirm forward Sam Fishburn has joined Northern Premier League East Division side Ashington on loan for an initial month.

21-year-old Fishburn links up with the Colliers in a search for more minutes having scored two goals in 15 games for the Iron, three of which starts, since leaving Fleetwood Town in the summer.

He featured just a handful of minutes for Spennymoor Town in a loan away from the club earlier in the season as he picked up a knock, and was therefore sidelined. Most recently, he has spent time with local side Gainsborough Trinity, managed by former Iron manager Russ Wilcox, with this latest temporary move taking him closer to his own home.

Prior to being with the Cod Army, Fishburn was at Carlisle United, and enjoyed a number of loan spells including Lancaster City and Morpeth Town.

We wish Sam all the best for his latest loan spell away from the Attis Arena.
