Barnet Football Club can confirm that the proposed transfer of Simeon Akinola has not been ratified.

This is an unfortunate outcome, but Barnet FC have no criticism of the EFL on this decision based upon the sequence of events.

Simeon will be expected back at Barnet FC to re-join the squad and will have to work hard to fulfil his potential and fight for his place in what is currently a very strong starting XI.
