Flitcroft appointed at Barnsley

David Flitcroft has been handed the Barnsley manager's job on a permanent basis.

Flitcroft was appointed caretaker boss following Keith Hill's departure and after defeat at fellow strugglers Peterborough in his first game in charge, the Tykes have clinched back-to-back victories.

A late goal saw off Burnley in the third round of the FA Cup and they then clinched their first home league success since September 1 with an uplifting 2-0 derby win over Leeds on Saturday.
