Ritchie cools Flinders exit talk

The 20-year-old has been linked with a £500,000 switch to the Tykes' Championship rivals but Ritchie has denied the reports.

"Well I'm certainly not aware of it unless it happened sometime late on Wednesday night," he told the club's official website. "At the moment we've had no further bid for Scott."

Flinders has made 19 first-team appearances for the club since coming through the Oakwell youth team ranks.
