Signed by Barnsley at the end of the Scandinavian domestic season, Janne delayed his arrival at Oakwell so that he could complete his university studies. He quickly settled in showing himself to be a very able defender. Unfortunately he suffered a serious knee injury after just eight games for his new club and he was expected to be out of action for around 12 months. A right back or central defender he is very effective in the air with a strong tackle and good distribution.
