Barnsley have had their fair share of players over the years that have signed for the club towards the later stages of their playing careers. 

The Tykes have had plenty of ups and downs in the last 20 years, with the club now playing their football in the Championship.

They seem to be heading in the right direction though, with the Yorkshire-based side finishing this year's campaign fifth in the second-tier standings.

Barnsley missed out on promotion into the Premier League though, as they were beaten on aggregate by Swansea City in their play-off semi-final.

We take a look at the top-ten oldest ever goalscorers for Barnsley in their history (statistics sourced from Transfermarkt).

Find out which player is in at number ten, on the next page....

Neil Redfearn is up first at number ten, with the former Barnsley midfielder scoring for the Tykes at the age of 32 years, nine months and 29 days old.

His goal came against Tottenham Hotspur whilst the Yorkshire-based side were playing their football in the Premier League. They held their own against Spurs as well, as they shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw.

Redfearn spent seven years with Barnsley as a player, before departing in 1998, as he moved to Charlton Athletic.

Redfearn has since stepped into management after retiring from his playing days, and is now manager of the Sheffield United Women's team, which is a role he's held since 2020.

Stuart Ripley is in at number nine, for when he scored for Barnsley at the age of 32 years, 11 months and 19 days old.

The goal came in a 2-1 defeat to Blackburn Rovers in November 2000, as he found the back of the net against the club he spent six years with earlier in his career.

Ripley arrived at Barnsley on loan for the 2000/01 season, with his parent club Southampton looking to find him regular game time, which they couldn't offer him at the time.

Ripley finished his career with the Saints, after spending a year on loan with Sheffield Wednesday.

Dean Gorre is up next at number eight, with the former Barnsley man scoring for the club at the age of 33 years, two months and 19 days old.

The goal came against Stockport County back in November 2003, in a game that was hugely entertaining, with it finishing as a 3-3 draw on the day at Oakwell.

The midfielder had previously played for the likes of Feyenoord and Ajax earlier in his career, but moved to England with Huddersfield Town in 1999, before moving to Barnsley in 2001.

He spent three years with the Tykes, before moving to Blackpool in 2004, before finishing his playing career with Egerton.

Jamie Cureton is no stranger to finding himself on the list of oldest goalscorers for clubs across the country.

The forward found the back of the net for Barnsley at the age of 33 years and four months old, in a 1-1 draw with Preston North End in December 2008.

Cureton has an impressive record in front of goal with the majority of clubs he's played for over the years, and has caught the eye with some strong performances in particular for the likes of Bristol Rovers and Reading.

He's still playing football competitively at the age of 45, as he was last seen turning out for Enfield.

Marlon Harewood is next up, for when the former Barnsley man scored for the Tykes at the age of 33 years, five months and 22 days old.

The goal came in an FA Cup match against MK Dons back in February 2013, in a game that the Tykes ran out relatively comfortable 3-1 winners on the day.

Harewood made a name for himself whilst with both West Ham United and Nottingham Forest prior to his move to Oakwell, but found regular goals hard to come by with Barnsley.

He left the club permanently in 2013, as he went on to sign for Bristol City, before calling time on his playing days with Nuneaton Town.

Jonathan Greening is at number five, with the former Barnsley midfielder finding the back of the net at the age of 33 years, 11 months and 24 days old.

The goal came on Boxing Day 2012, in a frustrating 2-1 defeat to Birmingham City at Oakwell. Greening first signed for the club back in 2012, having played for a number of teams in the EFL earlier in his career.

He played for the likes of Middlesbrough and West Brom, but arrived on loan at Barnsley whilst with Nottingham Forest, as he went in search of regular game time.

That goal against the Blues was the only goal he scored for the Tykes, as he returned to the City Ground from his loan spell, before finishing his career with Tadcaster Albion.

John Hendrie is in at number four, with the former Barnsley man scoring for the Yorkshire-based club at the age of 34 years, four months and one day old.

The goal came against Manchester United in the FA Cup back in February 1998, in a memorable 3-2 win for the Tykes on the day.

Hendrie made a name for himself with the likes of Bradford City and Middlesbrough earlier in his career, before moving to Oakwell in 1996.

He spent three years with Barnsley, before retiring from his playing career in 1999, and he'll remember his goal against Manchester United very well to this day.

Andy Gray is the first name in the top-three of the list as Barnsley's oldest ever goalscorer, with the former Tykes forward scoring for them at the age of 34 years, five months, and two days old.

The goal came against Hull City, in a match that Barnsley lost 3-1 on the day, which won't have been the ideal outcome for Gray back in April 2012.

Gray scored some important goals in his time with the Tykes, as he spent three seasons at Oakwell, having previously played for Burnley, Charlton Athletic and Sunderland earlier in his career.

He departed in 2012 as Gray moved to Elland Road with Leeds United, before finishing his career with Bradford City in 2014.

Jason Scotland narrowly misses out on top spot, with the former Barnsley forward scoring for the Yorkshire-based side in a 2-1 defeat to Leicester City in September 2013.

Scotland was 34 years, seven months and ten days old at the time, and went on to finish the season with the Tykes, before departing in 2014.

The experienced forward had previously played for the likes of Swansea City, Ipswich Town and Wigan Athletic, before moving to Oakwell.

He went on to move to Scotland with Hamilton Academical, before calling time on his career after a spell with Stenhousemuir.

Darren Moore is Barnsley's oldest ever goalscorer according to Transfermarkt, after his goal against Swansea City at the age of 35 years, 11 months and 26 days old in April 2010.

The former Tykes defender first signed for the club back in 2008, having previously been on the books with the likes of Derby County and West Brom earlier in his footballing career.

Moore left Barnsley in 2010, as he went on to sign for Burton Albion, where he spent two years with them, before calling time on his playing days.

Moore is currently in charge of Sheffield Wednesday, and will be hoping he can win promotion back into the Championship at the first time of asking next term.
