Whaley compliments Reds' staff

Simon Whaley has complimented the management and coaching staff at Barnsley FC in a recent interview.

Speaking with Preston's Official site, Whaley said that under the management of Simon Davey he absorbed a great deal.

"I learned a lot over there, it was a different experience and it's definitely helped me with my career.

"It was a completely different style of training and coaching and the environment was different as well with quite a few non-British players which is different to North End where there aren't so many," he explained.

And obviously there were a couple of familiar faces for him to work with.

"It was good to work with Kelham again, I worked with him at Bury and a little bit with Ryan at North End," he said.

Whaley scored once in five appearances during his loan at Oakwell
