Barnsley have signed former Leicester City full-back Tom Kennedy on a short-term deal until January.

The 27-year-old was released by the East Midlands club last month and he will now link up with Barnsley manager Keith Hill, under whom he played at Rochdale.

Kennedy told the club's official website: "It has been a strange few years really but I am happy to be here now and enjoy my football.

"I think this is a chance for me to establish myself."

Kennedy only made six league appearances for Leicester in a two-year spell at the club.
