Tykes talk with Tepi

BARNSLEY boss Gudjon Thordarson has revealed the club are keen on signing former Preston goalkeeper Tepi Moilanen.

Moilanen was released by Preston last month and is looking for a new club.

The Finnish international enjoyed a successful loan spell at Hearts last season and was expected to complete a permanent move to Tynecastle, but Barnsley are now keen on his services.

"I have spoken to Tepi and we will have to wait and see but at the moment we are not in a position to sign anyone, although we still have to plan for next year," Thordarson told the club's official website.

"Nothing is decided and I hope to speak with several goalkeepers in the coming weeks."

Meanwhile, Thordarson has handed trials to Stoke midfielder Brynjar Gunnarsson and former York defender Tom Cowan as he continues his rebuilding at Oakwell.

Gunnarsson is looking for a new club after seeing out his contract at Stoke, while Cowan was released by York at the end of last season.
