It's proving to be a busy week at Oakwell!

As exclusively revealed by TykesMad last night, Argentinian midfielder Hugo Roberto Colace has put pen to paper to become the fourth South American at the club!

Colace has joined from Newell's Old Boys (not Flamengo, that is where he spent time on loan last season) but it is not yet known whether a fee is involved.

Colace a defensive midfielder captained the Argentina U20's at the U20's World Cup and featured alongside Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano.

Simon Davey told www.barnsleyfc.co.uk:

"This is a massive coup for our Club. Hugo is a tremendous talent and has a very good pedigree after playing for the Argentinean national team right through to U21 level.

"He is technically an outstanding footballer and we cannot wait to start work with him here. We are delighted to have brought him in and sure that he will have a big part to play for us next season".
