Barry Douglas, the former Wolverhampton Wanderers full back who joined Leeds United in 2018, has recounted the circumstances leading to his departure from the Molineux Stadium. He revealed feeling forced out by then-manager Nuno Espirito Santo, who indicated he wouldn’t be part of Wolves’ 2018-19 Premier League campaign squad. Despite this, Douglas harbors no bitterness, acknowledging it as simply ‘business’.
While spending just one season at Wolves, Douglas left a mark on the fans with 39 league appearances and five goals as they clinched the Championship title. Moving to Leeds for £3m, he played a key role in their promotion-winning 2019-20 Championship campaign. His journey includes stints at clubs like Dundee United, Queen’s Park, and Lech Poznan, with a solitary international cap for Scotland in 2018.
After joining St. Johnstone in October, Douglas expressed excitement about contributing to the club’s growth, emphasizing his experience and quality to aid the younger players. Reflecting on his career, he recognizes the absence of loyalty in football, highlighting the importance of adapting to change in the dynamic landscape of the sport.
