Last updated : 15 February 2005 By Mad Tyke

The Reds have signed promising young Reserve team striker Nathan Joynes on his first professional contract keeping him at Oakwell until the summer of 2007.

The 19-year-old, who is over six foot tall, has shaken off injury problems this season to emerge as one of the reserves teams most consistent players.

Joynes was handed a squad number in October but has yet to make a first team appearance but with the play-off dream fading fast - he may get a chance this season.
