Agnew linked with Tykes role

Steve Agnew is ready to throw his hat in the ring for the Barnsley manager's job.

The former Tykes midfielder is still held in very high esteem at Oakwell following his seven-year stint with the club at the beginning of his player career.

Agnew is now progressing up the coaching ladder and is currently youth coach at Leeds United, following a stint as number two at Hartlepool.

Now Agnew is set to join a host of applicants for the Tykes post - which was vacated on Tuesday when Barnsley surprisingly axed Andy Ritchie.

A host of names are being linked with the role - including Agnew, who seems keen on a return to South Yorkshire.

His agent Lee Payne admitted that although more than happy at Leeds - should Barnsley come calling then he would have to look at it.

"Obviously he is flattered to be linked," he told skysports.com.

"He is enjoying his position at Leeds very much. But if an opportunity like this came along then he would obviously have to seriously consider it."

Along with Agnew, such names as Iain Dowie, Neil Redfearn, Eric Winstanley and Peter Shirtliff have been linked with the job.

No, but there's a job going with the academy if he fancies it.
