Hide AdStruber said: “I know a lot about Michael and he will be great for the team. He is exactly the player we need. He has been captain at Wolfsberger AC for a long time and has plenty of first team experience at a good level.
“It was important for me to have experience and to add to our defence in this window. I am very happy that Michael is here in Barnsley and I know he will be a positive impact and help us over the next weeks.”
Sollbauer has a wealth of experience playing for the Austrian side in the Europa League against the likes of AS Roma and Borussia Monchengladbach.
