Burns Barnsley Bound

Last updated : 10 October 2003 By Kevin Markey
First team coach Ronnie Glavin told the club's official website: "We have had Jacob Burns in with us for a couple of days and he has looked an excellent player. To be fair he is a different class in training.

"We will have to wait and see what happens with the club in the near future before we can do anything about him."

Burns, 25, was released by Leeds at the end of last season after making just ten first-team appearances and he has had trials with Perugia and Feyenoord.

I remember Burns always had an affect on me when he started a first-team match al Leeds. I always groaned when his name was announced on the tannoy!
