Barnsley confirm Hart's departure

Former Reds boss Paul Hart said before he left Oakwell: "I would like to place on record my thanks to the players, coaching staff and supporters during my time at the Club. I wish everyone involved with Barnsley the best of luck in their efforts to gain a play off position this season and do wish them continued success for many years to come."

Andy Ritchie has been given the caretaker manager role.
