Barnet have signed Nottingham Forest midfield player, Mark Byrne on loan until 12t January 2011. He becomes Mark Stimson’s 11th close season signing for the Bees. The 21 year old Byrne has made two appearances as a substitute in the league for Forest and another substitute appearance in the FA Cup. In 2008/09, Byrne had a loan spell with Burton Albion in the Blue Square Premier, making seven appearances for the Brewers and was on a season long loan at Rushden & Diamonds last season, making 44 appearances and scoring 7 goals as Rushden reached the play-offs of the Blue Square Premier. At Rushden, he played under new Barnet coach, Michael Stone. Byrne’s arrival adds yet more competition for places in Barnet’s midfield.
