Wasn't his last loan spell outside of the Football League?
Don't really bet very much if at all but think he may be one to watch & worth a go first goalsscorer each week the bookies most likely won't realise he has scored for fun from defence & his odds will be too high for his goal threatExcellent news that has brought a big smile to my face. Callum Connolly is one of my favourite players in our "Golden Generation" . I think he's got it all for a player of his age - solid defender in both full back positions, developed enough physically to also play Centre Back, can play midfield if needed , has an uncanny knack of getting into the box at the right time to score goals with both feet and head.
Barnsley would seem to be the right place for him, League 1 pushing for promotion play off place, a sound club for developing people, a great move. LB is probably our most competitive position in the club and he's what 5th choice there, so a long , long way to go to see if he can reach PL standards , good luck to him will look out for reports with much interest.

Agreed. They played pretty decent football when we beat them earlier this season and, like you say, we've nabbed some of their most promising players recently. Looks like a win/win scenario, and one we should look to repeat with some more of our youngsters.Good move that they try & play football & we have obviously taken stones & holgate from them so nice to give a bit back
Love a bit of Mo and I know we're in the money now, but how would it be to have an all homegrown midfield of these 2 and Barkley?Everton @Everton 2 mins2 minutes ago
LOANS: @RyanLedson97 (@CambridgeUtdFC) and @liamwalsh_6 (@YTFC) have extended their loan spells by a further month:
It's interesting that Barnsley put him straight in at RB. There has been talk about their own talented 18 year old RB James Bree being a player to watch. Not sure if he's out injured and Connolly was seen as a straight replacement. It's great that he can be pitched straight in to a tricky away encounter at RB, although he's played there for our U21s he's been mainly a LB , ........., except when he's played in the centre back role , or midfield ...! Great experience for him to get.Fantastic opportunity for Connoly, really hope he does well! Has flown under the radar, been a very good performer for our U/21's.

Thats very interesting isnt it as i was also thinking we may move for Bree this summer simply based on nothing but the Barnley fan who came on here after we signed Stones and thenn Holgate from them. I was thinking he may be signed as cover for coleman andone of he or kenny would be loaned.
i thought connolly was a left back though?
It looks like Garbutt at fulham has been a disasterr and wont do much for his chances with us and also doesnt seem to be giving him great exposure for a sale either...mcaleny also poor a usual it seems.
then grant probably off this summer as has been written here as his contract is up.
ledon walsh and connolly ones to watch
