Barnsley transfer latest: Former Huddersfield Town winger joins from Premier League club

BARNSLEY have completed the loan signing of Wolverhampton Wanderers loan winger Tawanda Chirewa.

The 22-year-old will link up with the Reds for the rest of the campaign and is the club’s fifth new arrival of the winter window following the earlier additions of Owen Goodman, Scott Banks, Eoghan O’Connell and Charlie Lennon.

The Zimbabwe international has made two Premier League appearances for Wolves this term.

He spent the second half of last term on loan at Huddersfield Town, making 13 appearances for the Terriers after joining in the 2024 winter window, including eight starts. The wingman was on loan at Derby County in the first half of 2024-25.

Born in Chelmsford, Chirewa’s youth career began with Ipswich Town before moving to the Midlands with Wolves in September 2023, with his international debut for Zimbabwe quickly following in March 2024.

Reds boss Conor Hourihane said: “We’re really pleased to bring Tawanda in.

"He’s a young player with genuine top-level experience and that’s a big asset to us.

"His Premier League exposure and ability to play across the frontline gives us another dimension going into the final stretch of the season.

"He’s hungry, quick and he fits the style we want to play.”
