Newcastle check on Barnsley defender
Newcastle United have confirmed they are checking on Barnsley youngster Brad Kilburn.
The 18-year-old central defender is out of contract with the South Yorkshire side at the end of the season and is set to leave the club.
Kilburn, who has been captain at various levels for Barnsley, is now trying to earn a deal with Newcastle.
He has spent the past week with Newcastle and has played in two academy games as he hopes to impress.
