Former Norwich City striker Mark Robins has been appointed as the new manager of Barnsley.

The 39-year-old was placed on “gardening leave” by Rotherham last week after expressing his desire to speak to Barnsley.
The move has now been completed after the two clubs settled on a figure to secure Robins' release from the Millers.
