Barnsley sign Marley Watkins on two-year deal

Barnsley have completed the signing of striker Marley Watkins on a two-year deal.

The forward joins the Tykes on a free transfer after the 24-year-old turned down the chance to remain with Scottish Premiership side Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Watkins told the club's website: "I'm delighted. I had a good, positive meeting with Lee Johnson and I was really impressed with what he had to say and where he wants to go. I'm excited to be a part of it.

"It was awesome to score in a cup final. It was a great way to end and I hold Inverness close to my heart. I just want to come to England and prove myself down here then aim as high as possible. I want to be a success with Barnsley."

Watkins found the net to guide Inverness to victory in the Scottish Cup final over Falkirk.
