Barnet have taken up their option to extend Michael Gash’s contract for a further year.

The 29-year-old striker joined the Bees in January 2015 and has scored seven goals for Martin Allen’s side during an injury hit season.

The news comes after Barnet guaranteed their place in League Two for another season on Monday and has pleased Allen.

He told the club website: “I am delighted with the way he has worked to get back to full fitness, and we all saw the benefits of having him in our team when the going gets tough.

“He was terrific against the wind in the second half on Monday, and of course we all love him.”
