Good move for Mads.
Put his time in at Barnsley and rewarded by becoming a Premier footballer.

Seems a great bubbly sort of fella.
He plays as though he was doing it for fun - consequently he always seemed to have a mistake in him.
Good luck to Mads 👍

Nice personal words from the the lad well done and all the best in your career.

Upon leaving the club, Andersen expressed his appreciation for his time at Oakwell:

“My time at BFC has come to an end, and I would therefore like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the support and love I have received during my 4 years at Oakwell. It has been years of ups and downs and I have developed a lot as a footballer and as a human being, including being a proud captain for the team the last year.

“I know my choice of movement will disappoint fans, but a life as a footballer is short, and therefore most players have ambitions of playing at the highest level possible. That ambition includes me and already when I was playing in Denmark at AC Horsens, I had a note on my fridge stating the ambition of reaching the Premier League someday.

“I want to thank the coaches, staff and my incredible teammates for this season and for four lovely years at BFC, which I will look back at with joy. I also want to say thank you to Khaled who has supported me in this step upwards. I think BFC is a perfect club for young footballers to get a chance of playing football at a professional level and therefore I am happy that I took this step in 2019.

All the best,

Mads

Fabulous statement.
And that last sentence will undoubtedly be carried in Khaled’s back pocket when he’s doing the rounds talking to potential young signings.

We can announce the permanent signing of Jack Shepherd from Pontefract Collieries.

The 21-year-old defender joins the Reds from the West Yorkshire outfit and will link up with our U21s setup at Oakwell.

A left-sided centre-half, Shepherd will immediately begin work on the training ground ahead of the 23/24 campaign.

Bobby Hassell, Academy Manager, said: "Jack joined us on trial at the latter stages of last season, hailing from the non-league team Pontefract. He is a late developer, and his potential was brought to my attention early in the season by the recruitment team. We are grateful to Pontefract's manager, Craig Rouse, for being accommodating and allowing Jack to trial with us.

"Additionally, he has displayed promising qualities when it comes to ball possession and has a good selection of passing attributes. Our club has a successful history of developing players from non-league backgrounds, and we hope that Jack will contribute to that trend. We are excited to work with Jack and see how he can further progress within our setup."

Just TRIED to watch the Mads goodbye video on Twitter.
It’s on the official club twitter site.
Had to switch it off half way through - upsetting.
FFS Wow !!!

Good luck, and thanks Mads. You deserve a crack at the Prem.
All the best
