Barney Stewart

In the lead-up to the June 2026 transfer from Falkirk to West Bromwich Albion, reports mentioned several rejected bids. Both West Brom and Lincoln City reportedly had initial offers of £1 million (~€1.2 million) turned down in May/June 2026. Falkirk's asking price was consistently stated as being over £1 million. Subsequent offers from West Brom were described as being 'well into seven figures' but were also rejected. The final undisclosed fee was reported to be a new record sale for Falkirk, surpassing their previous £1 million record.
