Barnsley FC have signed winger Scott Banks on loan from Bundesliga FC St. Pauli.

The 24 year old has spent the first half of this season at fellow League One side Blackpool, scoring 5 times in 20 apperances.

Banks first went pro at Dundee United in 2018, before a move to Crystal Palace in 2020.

A loan move to FC St. Pauli followed, as the team secured promotion to the German top flight during the 2023/24 season.

Barnsley Head Coach Conor Hourihane said, “Scott is a player we’ve admired for a long time. He brings real quality in the final third, but also the versatility and work ethic that fit perfectly with how we want to play.

“He’s shown his ability at every level he’s been at, and we believe he’ll add another dimension to our attacking options. We’re excited to work with him and see him thrive at Oakwell.”
