Barnsley have signed former Newcastle Jets midfielder Clayton Taylor and Manchester City defender Isaac Smith.

Taylor, 22, scored nine goals in 23 appearances in the Australian A-League last season and has signed a three-year contract.

Smith, 20, who has signed a two-year deal, spent the second half of last season on loan with the Tykes' academy side.

"I just want to build on what I started here," Smith told the club website.

"I feel like people have trusted me to do a job, and I want to do it properly."
