Barnsley head coach Valérien Ismaël says Devante Cole ‘complements our existing philosophy’ after signing the Manchester City academy graduate from Motherwell.
Cole netted 12 goals for Motherwell during a prolific 2020/21 Scottish Premiership season for the striker. But now he rejoins Barnsley for a second spell, having first been at the English Championship club on loan from Manchester City. Ismaël saying the striker is a good addition.
Cole rejected a new deal at Motherwell to join Barnsley, Ismaël saying of the former Manchester City striker: “I am delighted that we have signed Devante. He is a player with lots of ability and has shown that he can score goals. I am confident that he complements our existing philosophy and style of play.
“It is important that we continue to progress as a club and getting this deal done so quickly is a clear indication that we intend to be competitive next season. I look forward to integrating Devante into our squad when we return for pre-season later this month.”
