Barnsley: 'A lot more to come' from Jacob Brown
His return marks the end of a disappointing period for him. He missed the end of last season – including the promotion-winning game at Bristol Rovers through injury and then picked up a fresh problem in one of the first pre-season training sessions.

“Obviously, it was hard for me at the end of last season getting injured, so I’ve been working hard with the physios and the sports scientists off the pitch to get back out there,” he said.
“To be able to do that in front of the home crowd again was a great feeling.
“I’ve been back in training for a few weeks now with the ball at my feet. I think I’ve still got a lot more to come in the next couple of weeks, but for my first game back, I thought I did alright.”
