WOKING have confirmed former Southend United defender Kacper Lopata will be with them for the rest of the season.

It is understood Lopata has agreed a deal with League One side Barnsley and will officially join the Tykes at the start of July.

But until then Lopata is free to line up for Woking and could make his debut at Barnet tomorrow night.

Woking are currently third in the National League standings and host Southend United on Monday April 10.

Lopata made 44 appearances while with the Shrimpers but handed in his notice at the start of March after a ‘serious breach of contract’ which saw him having to wait an additional 28 days for his January wages.

Blues have lost all six of their matches since Lopata’s departure.
