Barnsley have today confirmed the signing of Derby County utility man Miles Addison on a six-month loan.

The 22-year-old, who can play either at centre half or in the middle of midfield, has made 65 appearances for the Rams since breaking into the first team at the age of just 16.

Standing at 6'3" he provides a more than capable replacement for outgoing captain Jason Shackell, who joined Derby last week.

Addison becomes Keith Hill's sixth signing as Reds boss since his arrival on June 1st. He follows David Perkins, Craig Davies, Matt Done, Scott Wiseman and Jim McNulty into the new look Reds squad for next season.
