Now confirmed.

We are happy to confirm the signing of Kyran Lofthouse on a three-year deal, with a further option in the Club’s favour.

The 22-year-old defender joins the Reds after most recently representing Woking in the National League, making 103 appearances for the Cards across a two-year spell.

Born in Oxford, Lofthouse began his career with hometown club Oxford United, before moving to Oxford City on loan.

A second loan move whilst with the U’s found our new recruit at Woking, where he went on to sign permanently in 2021.

Chief Executive Officer of Barnsley FC, Khaled El-Ahmad, commented on the acquisition: “We are happy to welcome Kyran to Oakwell and are pleased that he has chosen Barnsley to take the next step in his career.
