Reds S-Teale Derby Winger

Last updated : 15 August 2008 By Rob Miles (barnsley Boy)

Barnsley boss Simon Davey has made a shock move into the loan market today to sign Derby County's Scottish international winger Gary Teale on a month's loan.

The Reds were facing an injury crisis in midfield for tomorrow's visit of Coventry City with Bobby Hassell, Mounir El Haimour and Jamal Campbell-Ryce all set to miss out and now Davey has swooped for Teale who has won 11 caps for Scotland.

Teale made more than 200 appearances for Wigan Athletic as they progressed through the leagues before signing for Derby County in 2007.

If, as expected, Hassell misses out tomorrow, Diego Leon could partner Brian Howard in midfield with Teale coming in on the left wing.

Davey told www.barnsleyfc.co.uk:

"We are delighted to have brought Gary into the squad. He is a player with experience of winning promotions from this division and played in the Premier League last season".
