Hill aiming to show McCarthy was wrong

DEFENDER Matt Hill is looking to resurrect his career with Barnsley after being frozen out by Wolves.
The former Bristol City and Preston North End left-back has joined the Tykes on a one-month loan deal after Scottish international Jay McEveley was ruled out for up to four months with a knee injury.

Hide AdHill, 29, has not played first-team football since finishing a loan spell at Queens Park Rangers in April and was excluded from Wolves manager Mick McCarthy’s 25-man squad for the Premier League.
“It hasn’t worked out for me at Wolves in terms of playing,” said Hill. “So I jumped at the chance to come to Barnsley where I hope to do well.”
Hill will make his debut in today’s game at Coventry City.
Tykes manager Mark Robins said: “I played with Matt when he was just starting out at Bristol City. He is more defensive-minded than Jay but has experience of playing at this level.”
