Alex Mowatt has revealed the frantic nature of the deal that took him from Leeds United to Barnsley during the January transfer window.
After being a key player for Leeds for a couple of seasons, the Whites academy product struggled to feature regularly in the team under Garry Monk this season and was being sporadically used.
And in a quick turn of events Leeds decided to let the player go in the January window when they reached an agreement for his sale and 22-year-old midfielder moved to Oakwell.
Mowatt admits that everything surrounding the deal happed at a rapid pace and a conversation with his agent and a few phone calls later he signed for the Championship club in January.
Asked about how he ended up at Barnsley last month, the midfielder told BBC Radio Sheffield: “It all happened very quickly really and I didn’t really know much of it.

“My agent spoke to me and said that Barnsley were interested and in the next couple of days I signed.
“I had a few phone calls in the morning, had my medical and signed by the night.”
Mowatt has signed a two-and-a-half year deal with Barnsley and has made two appearances for the club thus far.
