Barnsley forward Kelechi Nwakali has expressed his delight following his team’s emphatic 3-0 win against Crawley Town at Oakwell.
The result, secured under the guidance of manager Darrell Clarke, marked the club’s second League One victory of the year and bolstered their push for promotion.
Joyful Start to the New Year
Taking to social media, the 26-year-old Nigerian forward celebrated the team’s success. “Two wins for the new year.
The best way to wish the fans a happy new year,” he shared on his X account, reflecting the team’s determination to maintain their strong form in 2024.
A Season of Growth for Nwakali
Since joining Barnsley last summer from Portuguese side CD Chaves, Nwakali has steadily integrated into the team.
While he has managed just one goal in nine league appearances so far this season, the former Golden Eaglets captain continues to play a key role in the squad’s efforts.
Barnsley’s Strong Position in League One
The win over Crawley Town strengthened Barnsley’s position in the League One standings, with the team now sitting in fifth place on 42 points from 25 matches.
As the promotion race heats up, the Tykes remain well-positioned to challenge for a return to the Championship.
Manager Darrell Clarke and his squad will hope to build on this momentum as they aim for consistency in the second half of the season.
With players like Nwakali stepping up to contribute both on and off the pitch, Barnsley’s prospects look increasingly promising.
