League Two club happy to bring in Forest youngster

Barnet have brought in Nottingham Forest's promising midfielder Mark Byrne on loan until January. Byrne, who has made two senior appearances for Forest, spent last season on loan at Rushden & Diamonds where he scored seven goals in 44 outings. He also had a loan spell at Burton during the 2008/09 campaign and had been a target for several other clubs. The Bees are happy to have secured his signature and first-team coach Michael Stone is looking forward to working with Byrne again after the two were at Rushden. Stone told the club's official website: "I am very much looking forward to working with Mark again. "He made great strides last season and has tenacity, a good engine and a great work rate."
