McEvilly up for Barrow challenge

Last updated : 24 March 2009 By BBC Sport

"I've played with Dave and played against him," McEvilly said. "I didn't enjoy playing against him, that's for sure."McEvilly began his career with non-league Burscough before a £20,000 move to Rochdale in 2001 where he scored 27 times in 95 appearances.While at Spotland, he earned an international cap for Northern Ireland before subsequent moves to Accrington Stanley and Wrexham followed.The Liverpool-born forward began this season with Cambridge before returning to Rochdale on a permanent basis in January.However, McEvilly has found himself out of the first-team picture in recent weeks."It's all ifs and buts at the moment." he said. "I've got another 12 months on my contract left at Rochdale at the end of this season so we'll just see what happens.""But I've been brought in by Dave to score goals for Barrow and try and help this club for the next six weeks."As long as I can be a part of helping take the club forward then we can access that at the end of the season."The Bluebirds moved out of the Blue Square Premier relegation places on the back of Saturday's win against bottom-side Lewes thanks to goals from McEvilly and Lee Hunt either side of the break.The win lifted Barrow up to 18th ahead of Sunday's trip to fellow strugglers Weymouth."It's going to be tough but as long as we continue to keep pressing I'm sure we'll get something out of these games," McEvilly said.
