Chris Lomax has completed a dual-registration move to North West Counties Premier Division side Burscough.
The 26-year-old has been limited to just two substitute appearances thus far this season and reunites with former Widnes First Team Coach Nick Matthews, who managed Lomax at St Helens Town.
Lomax has made 114 appearances in a three-year stint with the club, and departs for Linnets in search for regular first team football.
Burscough currently sit 14th in the NWCFL Premier Division after an unspectacular start to the season, and head to Emley in the FA Vase on Sunday.
