Barnsley have signed Leicester City forward Amani Richards for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal

The 21-year-old never featured for the Foxes' first team but had a loan spell in League One with Exeter City in 2024-25 when he played six games.

He is the third player to join the Tykes this week following defender Tyrese Noslin and goalkeeper Cieran Slicker.

"We believe Barnsley is the right place for him to take the next step in his career, and we are excited to start working with him," boss Daniel Stendel told the club website.
