Barnsley have made their first deadline day signing by bringing in Austrian Christoph Knasmullner.

The 25-year-old attacking midfielder has joined from Austrian top flight club Admira Wacker for an undisclosed fee on a two and a half year deal. 

Knasmullner, who represented his country at youth level, has netted 12 goals this season. 

Meanwhile, French midfielder Thomas Ephestion was at Oakwell today but his move from RC Lens broke down.

The Reds are still attempting to bring in striker Oliver McBurnie tonight while Matt Mills' release by Nottingham Forest means Barnsley could sign him as a free agent even after the deadline.
