Cardiff City winger Kadeem Harris signs for Barnsley on loan

Barnsley have confirmed the loan signing of winger Kadeem Harris from Championship side Cardiff City.

Harris joins the South Yorkshire side on a 93-day loan having scored two goals in 18 appearances for the Bluebirds last season.

"He's a good player and a player myself and Tommy Wright have been trying to get hold of for a while," Barnsley head coach Lee Johnson told the club's official website.

"He's in a very big squad at Cardiff and found opportunities limited but whenever he's played, he's done well. We believe in him as a footballer and we felt it was right to bring him in.

"He's very, very quick and very direct. He gives you that threat from out wide. He can get crosses in the box and it will compliment what we've got in Sam Winnall, Conor Wilkinson and Marley Watkins up front."

The 22-year-old signed for Cardiff City from Wycombe Wanderers in 2012 after being named League Two Apprentice of the Year, and played on loan at Brentford in 2013.
