Leeds defender Kyle Bartley played with Barrow at Premier League club Swansea City. The 25-year-old centre-back has praised the former Nottingham Forest loanee and has outlined what he will bring to the team.

“Mo Barrow is very direct – he has great pace, is electric and can have a massive impact,” Bartley told BBC Sport (14:58).

“It gives us a bit more strength in depth and we have young boys in the team, but we can’t be relying on them every week. It brings a bit of freshness and brings the competition back.”

Barrow is a decent player, and the attacker is going to add to the strength of the Leeds squad. The 24-year-old could take a while to establish himself in the Whites’ starting lineup, but one should not be surprised if in the coming weeks he becomes an important player in Garry Monk’s team.

Leeds are fifth in the Championship table at the moment with 54 points from 30 matches.
