Luton Town got smashed by the Tykes 3-2 earlier in the season and could only hold out for a goalless draw in the reverse fixture on New Year’s Day at Kenilworth Road but Moncur is still adamant that his new team is the better side.

Speaking immediately after his move to Luton, the midfielder revealed that he has moved to the ‘best team’ in the league insisting that they have the best players and are going for honors this season.

George Moncur amassed 22 league appearances for Barnsley this season before his exit. However, just 11 of them were starts while the remaining 11 were off the bench.

The player has now signed a deal with promotion rivals Luton Town on a two and a half year contract and will be looking to hit the ground running at Kenilworth Road.

Moncur also reserved some praise for his former club and teammates, thanking them for their support throughout his two years at the club and wishing them the best for the future.

He has been warmly welcomed at Luton Town as former club player Cameron McGeehan congratulating Moncur for making the ‘big step’ to play for the club and wishing him success.

One of the things that has been affecting the youngster are injuries as the English defender has picked up hamstring injuries that has left him out of action and unable to play for a number of matches.

James Bree is a clear up and rising figure that can contribute to Barnsley FC and this is why the head coach Paul Heckingbottom wants to give the youngster more protection in order for him to not sustain unnecessary or dangerous physical problems.

“Every time James has played a string of Saturday-Tuesdays it seems like he has picked up an injury. It’s something we need to certainly look at. He’s on the road to recovery but again he’s another one who has had problems in the past. Everyone’s going to miss games at some point but it’s about missing as few as possible. A part of our role with him is helping him to understand his body, what he needs, and changing his program.” Paul Heckingbottom said as he talked about James Bree and his current situation.

Paul Heckingbottom has a squad that is filled with youth performers including the likes of: James Bree, Jack Cowgill, Adam Armstrong, Ryan Kent, SaidyJanko, SessiD’Almeida, Cole Kpekawa, Elliot Lee and Callum Evans. All of these players mentioned range from 18-22 years of age which is considered to be as extremely young and Heckingbottom does not want to see any of these players that have their entire career lying ahead of them from suffering any serious injuries which can hamper their future.
