Barnsley hedge their bets with signing of Swansea City winger

Barnsley have signed Swansea City’s Ryan Hedges on loan for the rest of the season as confirmed by the club website.

The Tykes have suffered a number of blows during the January transfer window as a number of their key players have left the club with James Bree, Conor Hourihane and Sam Winnall all departing the club over the last month. But while fans may mourn the losses of some of their best players, the team are looking to move on and sign the players who can sustain their push to get into the play-offs.

The 21-year-old winger, who can also play as a striker, has got plenty of Sky Bet EFL experience under his belt having played for the likes of Leyton Orient and Yeovil Town but now he get will the chance to play in the Sky Bet Championship for Barnsley. With the club now without many of its star players, Hedges will get a chance to be one of their new heroes over the next few years.

Following the signing of Hedges, Barnsley head coach Paul Heckingbottom said: ““Ryan is a fantastic acquisition for us and I’m delighted to bring him into our ever-growing squad of talented, young and hungry players. He’s had a few loan spells in his career so far and performed excellently, so we know that he has the potential to grow into a top class footballer. One of the key reasons why we have signed him his for his style of play which fits the Barnsley Football Club philosophy. He’s quick, direct, strong and we know that we can develop him further. Ryan has bags of raw talent and with the right kind of coaching he can become a big asset for this Club.”
