David Cotterill signs Barnsley deal

Barnsley have signed winger David Cotterill on a free transfer following his release by Swansea City.

The Welsh international had been the subject of interest from Leicester City but has now agreed a deal with Keith Hill's Tykes.

"We've been in negotiations with him for a while," said Hill.

"He watched us play against Leicester, he was due to sign for them until they signed Ben Marshall.

"He comes with a good knowledge of the Championship, experience and it's a no-brainer."

Cotterill previously had spells at Wigan Athletic and Sheffield United.
