I think with Scunthorpe coming up into the Premier League next year , a year full time PL followed by a year doubling up with Scunthorpe would be the way to go .
It's just a bit of forward planning by the Bees and they looked to have secured a decent British prospect .

whats a protected Rider

My understanding is that each EL team is allowed to sign one 'protected' rider a year.

This means the senior club own their registration even though the rider hasn't completed the requisite 12 meetings.

Going by the other posts in this thread, I'd assume Josh is, indeed, protected.
