NEIL LENNON has been reunited with former Rangers winger Brandon Barker in Cyprus after the 25-year-old signed a two-year contract with Omonia Nicosia.
Barker, who came through the youth system at Manchester City, departed Ibrox in January to sign a short-term deal with Reading having found first-team opportunities hard to come by in Govan.
The former England Under-20 internationalist worked under Lennon during a loan stint at Hibernian during the 2017/18 campaign and will be hoping to make an impression in the starting XI as Omonia gear up for a tilt at European football, following on from their Cypriot Cup win.
Barker is the second former Premiership player to have joined Lennon's team since the Northern Irishman was appointed in March, following in the footsteps of ex-Celtic full-back Adam Matthews, who has also signed a two-year deal in the Cypriot capital.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
