Sheridan praises new boy Byfield

Doncaster Rovers striker Darren Byfield
Byfield failed to score in nine games this season for Doncaster

Oldham Athletic boss John Sheridan has heaped praise on his new loan signing Darren Byfield following Saturday's 1-0 win at Northampton Town.

The 32-year-old moved to Boundary Park from Doncaster on a month-long deal and made his league debut at the weekend.

Sheridan told BBC Radio Manchester: "I thought he was excellent at Northampton and I was trying to get him all week.

"He is an excellent addition to the team. He has played at the highest level. He was excellent on Saturday."

He added: "He caused them a lot of problems with his pace and his touch. His performance was certainly very pleasing.

"Hopefully he is going to improve us as a team and help one or two of the younger players in the team."
