Apparently linked with him according to Dutch press on twitter. Google translate says... Kenneth Dougall will leave Sparta after 3 years for the English Barnsley FC which will be played in the English League one. The Australian had another contract until mid-2019, as a result of which Sparta received a transfer fee from the English club Might be rubbish. Anyone heard owt? Big fan of the name Kenneth Dougall.
Great name Played plenty of games at a decent level (Dutch League) Fills a position we need (Defensive mid) Only 25 Get him signed
Don't know anything about him but seems to be quite highly thought of in Australia. https://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/meet-the-midfielder-aiming-to-be-a-socceroos-world-cup-bolter
Andy Giddings @Gids1980 1m1 minute ago Understand reports suggesting #barnsleyfc are close to signing Kenneth Dougall from Sparta Rotterdam are true. He’s a defensive midfielder or centre half.
Seems to be the right kind of signing in terms of position. Dutch top league is decent enough so should be of a good quality.
Transfermarket shows him as a barnsley player, signed for £338k. Not sure if that site is more or less reliable than Wikipedia?
It tends to be very reliable as my previous jobs have used them as gospel and tends to have been correct.
Cheers, I always assumed that as don’t think it’s a self editing site is it? So someone must have told them and stated the fee? Who knows. Will wait for club announcement if it has happened. Be nice to have a new lad in the building to boost enthusiasm further!
