Barnsley sign Paddy McCourt

Barnsley sign Northern Ireland international winger Paddy McCourt until the end of the season.

Barnsley have signed Northern Ireland international winger Paddy McCourt until the end of the season.

The 29-year-old, who was released by Celtic last month after making 66 SPL appearances for the Hoops, trained with Hibernian earlier this summer.

However, he has now opted to join the Tykes - a decision that he describes as "easy".

"It was an easy decision," he told the club's official website. "I've know the manager a long time. I've been speaking to him over the last couple of weeks.

"I've been down to a few training sessions, got to know the lads and delighted to be on board."

McCourt is expected to make his debut in Saturday's visit to Blackburn Rovers.
