Barnsley Football Club can confirm the signing of Oli Shaw from Kilmarnock for an undisclosed fee.
Penning a deal until 2025, the Scottish striker moves south of the border for the first time in his career to link up with Michael Duff’s side.
Representing the Scottish national side at both U19s and U21s, Shaw last season helped fire Kilmarnock back to the cinch Premiership, finishing the campaign as the club’s top scorer with 14 goals.
At 24 years of age Shaw has amassed 169 appearances in Scotland, including in the Europa League for Hibernian – the Reds’ latest addition hitting the back of the net on as Hibs progressed in the competition.
Having tasted success north of the border, Shaw arrives in South Yorkshire looking to add to the promising start made by the Reds in Sky Bet League One so far.
Speaking exclusively to iFollow Barnsley, the 24-year-old emphasised his desire to make his mark at Oakwell: “Obviously, I’m happy to be here,” began our latest recruit. “It’s been a long couple of days. I’ve known about it for a while, but I’m finally here now.
“I’ve met the boys, settling in. It’s really good to be here now and I can’t wait to get going.”
Barnsley FC Chief Executive Officer, Khaled El-Ahmad, commented on the acquisition: “We are pleased to welcome Oli to Oakwell. He will provide competition in the attacking areas, and we look forward to him getting to work with Michael and the team.”
Everyone at Oakwell extends a warm welcome to Oli and wishes him all the best for his time at the Club!
