Barnsley Signs West Brom Forward Reyes Cleary on Three-Year Deal

Barnsley FC are actively strengthening their squad for the upcoming season, with a particular focus on attacking reinforcements. They have signed 21-year-old forward Reyes Cleary from West Bromwich Albion on a three-year deal, with the club holding an option for a fourth year. Cleary, who impressed during loan spells at Walsall and Hartlepool United, has been a promising talent from West Brom's academy but is set to leave after failing to agree on a new contract. Alongside Cleary, Barnsley have expressed interest in securing Brighton & Hove Albion forward Mark O’Mahony on loan, who has struggled with injuries but could be a key asset if fit. New head coach Conor Hourihane, appointed last season, is focusing on developing a young team with aspirations to push for promotion from League One. Barnsley's recent signings and transfer pursuits reflect their aim to build on their 12th-place finish and compete for a play-off spot this season.
