Several other players also left the club following their failure to secure promotion to the Premier League. 

Poya Asbaghi arrived at the club midway through this season with the club firmly trapped in a relegation battle.

Recent form has moved the side off the bottom of the table, but the gap to safety remains six points.

A lot of their transfer business may hinge on which division the club are playing in next season, but here are two developments that could emerge ahead of the Summer window… 

Callum Brittain was linked with a move away from the club last January, but it never materialised. 

The left-back has been a standout player in an otherwise difficult campaign for Barnsley.

If the club is unable to secure their future in the Championship then there will be clubs circling around the 23-year old.

Even if the club can maintain their status in the second tier then they will be doing well to hold on to Brittain’s services.

The Northern Ireland midfielder ended up moving to St Mirren on loan for the remainder of the season. 

But Barnsley could step up their interest in Jones in the summer.

While Jones couldn’t settle at Wigan Athletic, he performed well for
