Striker joins Barnsley on permanent deal

Barnsley have completed the permanent signing of Derby striker Jon Macken for an undisclosed six-figure fee. Macken spent two months on loan at Oakwell earlier this season before returing to Derby. The 30-year-old was well down the pecking order at Pride Park and Rams boss Paul Jewell was willing to let him leave. The former Preston and Manchester City hit-man has inked an 18-month deal at Barnsley. Macken who scored three goals during his loan spell at Barnsley, is expected to go straight into the squad for Tuesday's Championship clash with Colchester.
