BARNSLEY'S young star signing says his move to Yorkshire is 'perfect', having signed from German giants Bayern Munich last week.

Dale Jennings, 20, signed a three-year deal at Oakwell on Tuesday in a £250,000 switch.

The move back to England also comes at a time when Dale and his girlfriend are expecting their first child.

"We're having a little girl so that will make me more sensible," said Jennings, an ex-Liverpool trainee. "I had a good vibe about Barnsley."

Jennings, who shone for Tranmere Rovers when he burst onto the scene as a teenager, said his German experience was disappointing.

"It didn't work out as well as I'd have hoped," he admitted. "I do come away from it having experienced a different kind of football and it's matured me."

On the expectations for this season, the Liverpudlian is confident of Barnsley's chances.

"I've looked at the results towards the end of the season and I honestly think we could go for the play-offs," he added.
