Barnsley have been left reeling by Daniel Nardiello's decision not to sign a new two-year contract with the club.

The 24-year-old striker had agreed the contract but, in a dramatic U-turn, has opted to turn his back on the Tykes and now looks set to sign for QPR.

Barnsley chairman Gordon Shepherd told the club's official website: "The club are desperately disappointed at Daniel's late, late decision especially as the deal was all agreed and the paperwork ready on the table for his signature.

"We are also very unhappy at assurances given to us by the player that he would only consider leaving Oakwell for a club closer to his home in the Midlands."
