Isaac Christie-Davies ends nightmare spell at Barnsley by heading to Belgium

BARNSLEY midfielder Isaac Christie-Davies has ended his fraught spell at Oakwell and joined Belgian outfit KAS Eupen for an undisclosed fee.

The former Liverpool under-21 player, 24, has made just two first-team appearances for the Reds since joining in September 2020 on a three-year deal, with his debut only arriving in the late-season derby against Huddersfield Town in April.

Christie-Davies has previously spent time on loan at another Belgian side Cercle Brugge and Slovak Super Liga side Dunajská Streda, who he linked up with during his time at Oakwell. He links up again with Bernd Storck, who took him on loan to both clubs

"Good luck for the season."
