Reds In For O'Sullivan

Last updated : 06 January 2015 By Rob Miles (BarnsleyBoy)

Barnsley have tabled a bid for Blackburn Rovers midfielder John O’Sullivan.

The 21 year old progressed through the Blackburn Academy and signed professional terms in 2013.

A Republic of Ireland Under 21 international who has won 13 Under 19 caps and four Under 21 caps has appeared just one for Rovers in a 1-1 draw at Birmingham in May 2013.

O’Sullivan has had recent loan spells at Southport and Accrington Stanley, scoring twice on his Stanley debut in a 5-4 win at Northampton last September and he notched four times in 13 appearances before returning to Ewood Park at the beginning of this month.

The Reds are also set to sign two players on loan from Premier League clubs and hope to have the O’Sullivan deal completed before the weekend’s game with Yeovil.
