Jabo Ibehre has signed for Barnsley on loan from Colchester United.

The experienced striker will spend the rest of the season at Oakwell, after leaving the U's for the second time on loan this season.

Ibehre previously spent time on loan at Oldham Athletic where he played under Lee Johnson, who is now manager of Barnsley.

Ibehre has made 76 league and cup appearances for the U's since joining them from MK Dons in September, 2012, scoring 17 goals.

But the 32-year-old has not played for Colchester since Tony Humes' appointment as manager, last September.
