Following detailed discussions regarding the recent FA charge brought against Barton, the club have now reached an agreement with the player and his representatives over a contract with the club until the end of the season.

Barton becomes available for selection from tomorrow, after completing his registration in time to serve a one match suspension against Manchester City, as a result of a carry-over suspension passed down from the Scottish FA relating to a previous offence.
