George Moncur has agreed to leave Colchester United and sign for Championship new boys Barnsley.

The 22-year-old, who finished as the U's top scorer last season, has agreed personal terms with the Reds and will link up with them for pre-season training after quitting Colchester.

Colchester agreed a fee with both Barnsley and Peterborough United for the attacking midfielder last week.

And Moncur, who finished as the U's leading goalscorer last season with 14 goals, has now decided that Oakwell is where he wants to play his football, next season.
