O'Connor Seals Return

Last updated : 08 November 2010 By Alastair Limb (tykesmad)

The Reds have completed the expected re-signing of Birmingham City striker Garry O'Connor on a month's emergency loan.

The 27-year-old Scottish international had a similar month's spell with the Reds in September and made four appearances and scored one goal, the first in the 5-2 battering of Leeds United.

The move is a welcome one for the Reds as they look to quell the diabolical strikers' scoring records so far this season. In total, Barnsley strikers have netted 4 goals, including the one from O'Connor. Andy Gray has the other 3.

O'Connor will be in the Reds squad tomorrow to face Preston North End at Deepdale with Paul Hayes missing out playing against his parent club, as does Iain Hume who can't face Barnsley.
