Barnsley sign Bournemouth winger on loan

Barnsley have signed Connor Mahoney on loan from Bournemouth until the end of the season as confirmed by the club website.

The 20-year-old winger had previously been at Blackburn Rovers but was one of the players who decided to leave Ewood Park after they were relegated to Sky Bet League One. With him being one of the few Rovers players to come out of that relegation season with some credit, he was snapped up by Premier League Bournemouth with the hope he might be able to break into their first team.

Unfortunately for Mahoney he was unable to do that and he has only made two appearances for the Cherries. But he will now get an extended run in the first team after signing for Barnsley until the end of the season. The Tykes have been able to bring a lot of talented players to South Yorkshire through the loan system and they believe Mahoney will be the latest man to shine at Oakwell.

After signing for the club, Mahoney said: “I am buzzing to sign for Barnsley. I just want to get out there now and get this team up the table. I am excited about the way the team play, it’s very good football. They like to play along the floor and the Gaffer is a big part of me deciding to come to Barnsley.”

His new head coach Paul Heckingbottom said: “Connor is a player I have known about for a while. We’ve wanted him in previous transfer windows so I am really pleased that we’ve been able to sign him. He wanted to come and play for Barnsley Football Club, which is an attribute you want in every player that comes here. He’s a winger who is direct and has an excellent left-foot, he’ll give us something different and I look forward to working with him.”
