Dimitri Cavare turned down the chance to play for Guadeloupe during the international break which has just finished.
The Barnsley right-back was born in the Caribbean island, which is owned by France but has its own team. If he had played for Guadeloupe, the Reds could have called off their home game against Luton Town, which they won 3-2 on Saturday.
Coach Andreas Winkler said: “He could have played for Guadeloupe but he didn’t go. I am very happy and it shows how important Barnsley FC is for Dimi. He played very well against Luton, better than in the previous matches and more like he played in the first six or seven matches.”
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."
