Midfielder moves on from Birmingham in search of new club

Former Derby County midfielder Giles Barnes is now training with West Bromwich Albion after a trial spell at Birmingham City. Barnes is on the look-out for a new club after being released by Derby last month and he has been training with Birmingham in recent weeks. However, Blues boss Alex McLeish has confirmed the 22-year-old has moved on to train with local rivals West Brom. "Giles has left us," said McLeish. "He had a lot of other options and is now training with West Brom. "We wish him all the best." Barnes has not played a first-team game for almost a year due to injury, which hampered a spell on loan at Fulham last season.
