It's been a frustrating season so far for Barnsley, as they struggle to stay afloat in their first season back in the Championship. 

The Tykes are currently sat bottom of the Championship table, and will be hoping they can pick up much-needed points in their quest for second tier survival heading into the final nine games of this year's campaign.

However, the club's supporters could be forgiven for hoping that Gerhard Struber will dip into the free agent market in the near future.

We take a look at NINE free agents that are still available for Barnsley if they wanted to sign them.

Find out who they are, on the next page....

Shackell's spell with Lincoln City came to an end earlier this year, which didn't come as a surprise after he fell out of favour in the Imps squad.

The defender has previously been with Derby County, and will surely be keen to get back into football at the earliest of opportunities.

Ireland has previously played at the likes of Manchester City and Stoke City, but hasn't been with a club since his spell at Bolton Wanderers came to an end.

His experience could come in handy for the Tykes this season in the short-term.

Mikel left Turkish side Trabzonspor in March after raising concerns over the off-the-field crisis.

He has previously played for the likes of Middlesbrough in the Championship, and could be tempted by a short-term deal at Oakwell when football returns.

Collins is a vastly experienced defender, who spent the majority of his career with West Ham United.

His last spell in football was with Ipswich Town, but he was unable to stop them from being relegated into the third tier of English football.

Molumbu has previously played for the likes of West Brom and Norwich City in English football, but he's been a free agent when his spell with Scottish giants Celtic came to an end.

Barnsley could certainly benefit from having depth in their midfield options, and Mulumbu would be able to challenge for a starting spot in Gerhard Struber's side.

O'Neil has been a useful player to have for a number of teams in England over the years.

The midfielder's most recent spell in football was with struggling Bolton Wanderers, and his experience could come in handy for a relatively young Barnsley squad this season.

Vaughan was released by Notts County at the end of the 2018/19 season, but he could be a useful addition on a short-term deal.

He has previously been capped at senior level for Wales, and made a name for himself at the likes of Blackpool and Nottingham Forest.

Maiga has previously been on the books with West Ham United, but is now a free agent.

The forward's last spell in football was with Thai club Buriram United F.C, and he could be a gamble worth taking for a Barnsley side that need goals - and fast.

Gouriye previously played for Danish club Vendsyssel FF, but has been out-of-contract since mid-April.

He has previously played in the Dutch top-flight with the likes of Twente and ADO Den Haag, and he could be a useful option to have in the final nine games of the season.
