Barnsley transfer latest: Star striker Davis Keillor-Dunn completes move to Championship promotion-chasers Wrexham
BARNSLEY star striker Davis Keillor-Dunn has completed his move to Championship promotion-chasers Wrexham for an undisclosed fee.
Speculation over the future of the 28-year-old, who joined the club at the end of the 2024 summer window, has intensified over the past month, with a number of second-tier clubs having been monitoring the form of the Wearsider, who has been a big success since joining the club from Mansfield Town for a significant six-figure fee.
The Stags inserted a sell-on clause in the original deal and will receive a portion of the sale proceeds.
Bristol City, Preston North End and Blackburn Rovers had been consistently linked with the frontman, but Wrexham, currently occupying the final play-off place in the second-tier - have now secured the services of the player with the North Wales outfit having also lined up a move for Sheffield Wednesday’s Bailey Cadamarteri.
Keillor-Dunn had a short spell with the Red Dragons in early 2020, scoring once in six appearances before going onto make his name at Oldham Athletic and Mansfield.
After netting 19 times in his maiden season at Oakwell, Keillor-Dunn has carried on from where he left off last term and has found the net on 16 occasions in 34 appearances so far in 2025-26.
He netted twice in his sign-off game on Saturday, a 3-1 home triumph over Stevenage.
With Keillor-Dunn’s stock currently high, the Reds hierarchy have elected to cash in on the forward, who signed a three-year deal when he joined the club - with the Oakwell outfit holding an option of an extra year in their favour.
On the exit of Keillor-Dunn, Reds chief Conor Hourihane said: “Davis has been a fantastic player for us since the moment he arrived.
"His goals, energy and determination have made a lasting impact and although we’re disappointed to lose a player of his quality, we recognise the opportunity that this move presents for him."
