League Two club Barrow have cancelled the contract of striker Offrande Zanzala by mutual agreement.

The 25-year-old was then-manager Mark Cooper's first signing when he joined the Bluebirds from Carlisle in the summer of 2021.

He arrived on a two-year contract and scored five goals in 27 games before being loaned to Exeter City.

Zanzala netted on his debut for the Devon club and made 15 appearances as they won promotion to League One.

Barrow have released midfielder Ollie Banks by mutual agreement.

Banks signed a two-and-half-year contract in January after joining them from Tranmere 12 months earlier.

He scored 12 goals in 46 appearances in all competitions for the Bluebirds last season, including a 30-yard free-kick against hometown club Barnsley in a 5-4 FA Cup third-round defeat.

"Always gave everything I had for the club on and off the pitch," the 29-year-old posted on Twitter.

"I developed a great relationship with the fans and it was an absolute pleasure to captain the team."

Promised big things at one time this lad

Barrow forward Luke James has left the League Two club after two years after they agreed to cancel his contract by mutual consent.

The 27-year-old joined the club from Hartlepool on a free transfer in the summer of 2020.

He made 69 appearances for the club across two seasons and scored three goals during his time with Barrow.

"We wish Luke all the best and thank him for everything he's done in a Barrow shirt," the club said.
