Walsall target Jason McCarthy seals Barnsley move
Walsall’s hopes of re-signing player of the season Jason McCarthy are over with the defender sealing a move to Barnsley.
Boss Jon Whitney had always acknowledged it would be difficult for the Saddlers to negotiate a deal for McCarthy, who proved a smash hit at the Banks’s while on a season-long loan from Southampton.
And the 21-year-old, who is out of contract at St Mary’s this summer, has joined the Tykes in a deal worth around £200,000.
Whitney is still pushing to bring in his first signings of the close season. The manager, preparing a second campaign in charge, is thought to be close to landing a defensive target in the coming days.
