Alex Mowatt has joined Barnsley from Championship rivals Leeds United.

David Haigh has taken to social networking site Twitter to give his reaction to the departure of Alex Mowatt from Leeds United.

Mowatt is a talented and promising young player, and he should not be too disappointed at his exit from Leeds.

Leeds are one of the biggest clubs in England, and the youngster took his baby steps in football at the club.

What the midfielder needs to do now is work hard and return to the form that he showed for the Whites a couple of years ago.

Barnsley are going strong in the Championship at the moment and are in the running for a top-six finish.

Paul Heckingbottom’s side are currently eighth in the league table with 41 points from 27 matches, just four points behind Sheffield Wednesday, who are currently sixth in the standings and occupy the final playoff spot.
