Former Coventry City loanee Adam Armstrong has joined Barnsley FC on loan from Newcastle United.

Armstrong has joined the Tykes on loan until January and speaking about him, Barnsley boss Paul Heckingbottom said: "Firstly, I am very thankful to Newcastle United for allowing Adam to come on loan here. He is a player I am incredibly pleased to bring to the club and one I have been enquiring about for some time.

"His talent and goal scoring abilities are clear to see as he was excellent in League One last season scoring a tonne of goals. We've started the season in great form, scoring a lot of goals and I have no doubts that Adam will make an instant impact and excite the fans."
