Ideally we need one to replace Mondal for a few weeks - even if it is a young one on loan to go on the bench.
Any rumours?

Anyone know if Calum Kavanagh is still actually at Harrogate?

From what I can pick up he was on loan from 29th January, played in 3 games, picked up a slight knock but was due to be back on 12th February, hasn't reappeared so has effectively not been in the squad for Harrogate since 5th February.

According to today’s Echo it looks like a loanee but not from a NE club as AA says he has had to go further afield.

Bit worried we were going backwards when I heard we had signed Thompson, but turns out its not Stephen (the legend)!

Last couple who f loans from Barnsley were very good, if that's any indicator (which it isn't really to be fair) - will smith and romel Palmer during the Tommy Wright season if I recall correctly

Don't forget David Speedie came from Barnsley back in 1980 then after 2 years moved to Chelsea for £80k :thumbup:

Didn’t Tommy Wright also come from Barnsley? Also I believe Carl Airey was signed from them as well.

Yes, one of the stars in our 1985 promotion side. Think he went abroad after us, a rare Darlo export!

Not forgetting the signing of excellent full-back Neil Austin from Barnsley in 2007.

See also Gary Coatsworth (of looping header fame).

I think Phil Lloyd, scorer of the second goal against Middleborough in the FAC in 85, came to us from Barnsley, too.

He went to Charleroi in Belgium but didn't settle and played just three games at the start of the 86/87 season before spending the rest of the season at Chesterfield on loan.

We've exported a few: Darren Collier to Hong Kong, Ron Ferguson to Belgium, Craig Hignett to Cyprus, Jeff Smith to Belgium as well as (I guess) any number of foreign players who've gone abroad post-Darlo.
