Lewin Nyatanga goes out on loan for the rest of the season
The Rams have agreed to loan Lewin Nyatanga to Barnsley for the remainder of this season. The move comes as a shock to many people who expected the 18 year-old to feature in a loan to a promotion chasing team rather than one at the opposite end of the table.

It may be that Derby boss Billy Davies is wanting to bring the youngster down to earth a little after his rise to a full Welsh International this season and talk of a move to Championship rivals Sunderland.

Lewin may well be either surplus to requirements at Pride Park or looked on as a first team squad player for the future. In the mean time the Tykes are pleased with the loan move and it should prove beneficial for both Nyatanga, gaining regular first team football and Barnsley getting a raw but promising talent to help in their fight to stay in the Championship.
