“It’s so exciting,” Cotter said of his move to South Yorkshire. “It’s a great opportunity, I’m absolutely buzzing. I can’t wait to hit the ground running. It’s a huge club, there’s great history. I’m over the moon.”
“We are pleased to bring Barry to Oakwell,” Barnsley FC CEO, Khaled El-Ahmad, added. “We look forward to seeing him work with Michael [Duff, manager] and the staff out on the training pitch and wish him a warm welcome to the club.”
Shamrock Rovers confirmed the exit on their Twitter account. “We have reached an agreement with English League One side Barnsley FC for the transfer of defender Barry Cotter for an undisclosed fee. We wish Barry well in his future career.”
