Reds switch just the job for Welsh international BARNSLEY'S record-breaking Welsh international, Lewin Nyatanga, has no regrets about swapping Derby's Champion ship title run-in for the relegation dog-fight. The 18-year-old defender arrived at Oakwell on loan from Derby in the transfer window after a successful spell with Sunderland in the first half of Barnsley have given me a great opportunity to play first team football which is exactly what i need at this stage of my career and I'm going to give it my best." Nyatanga qualifys for the Welsh squad through his mum. His second game for Barnsley was his home debut which brought a 3-0 win over Hull. That night he found himself up against former Barnsley trainee Jon Parkin and ex-Premiership striker Dean Windass. "John and Dean are two legends of the game and they've been around for a long time," Nyatanga said. "I've a lot of respect for them and they gave me a tough test. I've done well against them and I'll take that experience into the next game. " But the hardest I've faced in the Championship would have to be Reading last season when we played them away (in which Derby lost 5-0). Their strikers Shane Long, Kevin Doyle and Dave Kitson had very good movement and they've proved how good they are by going into the Premiership and doing well. That was a really tough game for me." Nyatanga was Wales' youngest player when he was capped at just 17 last season but saw his record was broken by Southampton's Gareth Bale. He now hopes to make it 10 appearances for his country before he turns 19 in August."I've got nine caps for Wales, my last against Northern Ireland and the next proper international match is at the end of March and I'm hoping I can do enough to get into that squad as well. "John Toshack has been great for me. "He's given me my chance and shown faith in me and a lot of other youngsters and I hope I can repay him." Who, or what, wrote that?
