3 replacements for Callum Brittain at Barnsley after Blackburn Rovers confirm signing

Barnsley were relegated down to League One at the end of the last campaign and were therefore bound to see themselves raided and some of their best players taken this offseason.

That’s because a good signing as a replacement for Callum Brittain could be Mitchell Clark, who currently plies his trade for Accrington Stanley. The 23-year-old has been excellent for Stanley in the third tier so far and managed a total of 25 games in the division for the club last time around.

Considering the player’s age and his other experience – he’s been in the youth ranks at Leicester and has already tried his luck in the fourth tier with Port Vale – he already has plenty going for him. With a deal potentially not breaking the bank either, it could be a deal worth pursuing for the Tykes.

Connor Randall – Ross County

Barnsley are not blessed with a huge transfer budget, so they may be forced to try and find bargains or diamonds in the rough to replace Callum Brittain.

One name that could fit the bill for the Tykes is Connor Randall, who currently
