Tamworth have signed centre-back Joe Rye on a permanent deal from League Two side Barnet after a successful loan spell last season.

Rye, 22, played 22 National League games for the Lambs in 2025-26.

He joined Barnet from Worthing in 2024 but only made four senior appearances for the Bees, spending time on loan at Chelmsford City and Boreham Wood as well as Tamworth.
