Derby County saw Joe Wildsmith depart this summer and now, BBC Sheffield reporter Adam Oxley states he’s a target for Barnsley.
Derby County are heading for the Championship, but they’re bidding farewell to some of the mainstays who helped them rise back from League One.
Among the regular starters to have moved on is Joe Wildsmith. The ‘keeper managed 42 clean sheets in 97 games for the club, with an impressive 21 of those shutouts coming in the promotion-winning 2023/24 campaign.
It has left the Rams with the tough task of finding a new number one, while Wildsmith explores his options as a free agent.
Now, it’s claimed the 28-year-old is wanted back in League One.
Writing on X, BBC Sheffield’s Adam Oxley states Barnsley hold an interest in former Derby County man Wildsmith. He stated their interest is ‘one to keep an eye on’.
Wildsmith previously spent a short loan at Oakwell back in spring 2015, playing twice.
