Radlinger, who will battle with fellow new signing Brad Collins for the number one shirt at Oakwell, is excited to test himself in another environment.

He said: “I’m from Austria, but the last eight years I’ve been on my football journey. I was in Hannover of course, then last year I was away on loan in Norway, which was a good opportunity for me to play there.

“So it is always nice I think to see different countries, their cultures and also to be at nice football clubs, like Barnsley now.

“So I’m very happy now to be in England and to be playing for Barnsley.”

“He joins a very exciting squad for the upcoming season in the Championship."
