Barnsley sign Donovan Pines

"I'm really excited to be here. There is a lot of history here, since 1887, and I'm really excited to put my foot in the water and test it and do the best I can for the club," he told the club's official website.

"I feel like there is a lot of raw talent that I'm watching and seeing in these games. Hopefully, I can contribute in a big way and be a leader on the team."

Bobby Hassell, interim director of football, added: "Donovan was highlighted prior to my arrival into the role and became our top target this January window.

"There have been extensive discussions over the last three weeks to be able to bring Donovan to the Club and he has shown an excellent attitude in choosing this move despite having more lucrative offers from elsewhere.

"His physical stature allows him to be aerially dominant and combative whilst also possessing fantastic recovery speed, making him a versatile defender against different attacking players.

"The move would not have been possible without the help of the recruitment team who collectively helped get the deal over the line and allows us to bolster our defensive options in the short term, with the 18-month contract being suitable for all parties. We wish Donovan the best of luck during his time at Oakwell."

West Ham's Michael Forbes signs new contract

"I am over the moon, to be honest, and it is really nice to get this contract over the line," he told the club website.

"When I signed my first professional contract with West Ham, getting my next one was a huge goal of mine, so I am proud that my work in that time has been recognised and that I have done well enough to get this contract.

"It's important that I kick on now because it's been a really good season so far for the U21s and hopefully we can keep pushing on as a team.

"Personally, I've got to keep showing up and performing because there is so much more work to be done to make it to the level I want to reach.

"The message that the coaches make clear to you each day is that you have to be on it, maintain these levels, and keep working hard every day to keep this journey going."

Sporting director Mark Noble added: "Michael is a great character and professional, one highly regarded by both teammates, staff, and coaches at the Academy, and we are all delighted to see his journey continue at West Ham United.

"This new contract shows our faith and belief in Michael to continue the progress he has made during the past few years.

"He has gone from strength to strength in the role of U21s captain this season, helping his side to an impressive run to the Bristol Street Motors Trophy last 16. He has also impressed for his country over the last 12 months, making his Under-21 and senior international debuts for Northern Ireland.

"What is clear is that the task ahead is not an easy one for any young player, but myself, alongside Academy Manager Kenny Brown, and the coaches and staff across Rush Green and Chadwell Heath, are working hard to make sure these young players have the best chances to make a career for themselves.

"Ultimately, it is now up to Michael - as it is with the other young professionals to have signed new contracts this season - to kick on and forge their path in football.

"We believe Michael has the attributes, dedication, and desire to do just that and are excited to see what comes next for him in east London."
