The Yorkshire-born forward will remain at Oakwell until February 6th and is eligible to play this weekend in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Area Final first leg.

"He's a big target man that brings other players into play and he's definitely got a goal in him," added the Barnsley boss.

"It's his first loan so we'll have to be patient with him but we all hope he'll hit the ground running - starting on Saturday against Fleetwood."
