Winger Mark Marshall has agreed the contract offer from Mark Stimson earlier this week and is set to sign for Barnet before tomorrow's pre-season friendly against Peterborough United at Underhill.

"He has pace to burn and can play on either flank", said the manager today.

The 23-year-old former Swindon Town winger, who played for Stimson at Grays Athletic, has already passed a medical examination. He will be the Bees' 14th new signing since the arrival of the new manager on June 1.

"I consider that I have finished my squad building for the time being", said the manager, who has reached his target of a 20-man squad.

Irish central defender Darren Dennehy, the only pre-season casualty with a dead leg, came through a 45-minutes run out in Wednesday's friendly against Wingate and Finchley - he captained the side - and, like Marshall, is in contention for a role against the Posh.
