Barnsley are closing in on the signing of veteran forward James Norwood.
The 31-year-old has netted almost 200 goals in a career mainly spent in non-league football before scoring 29 in League Two for Tranmere Rovers in the 2017/18 season.
That earned him a move to League One Ipswich and he netted 28 goals in 88 games before his release this summer.
The deal is thought to be in the final stages but has not been finalised yet, the Chronicle understands.
Norwood's signing would be a stark change from the Reds' previous policy of signing only players aged 25 or younger to develop them.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
