A hero as a player at Underhill, making over 140 appearances for the Club, he will now take the reins of all First Team affairs on a rolling contract.

During his time in caretaker charge, he has already written his name into the history books by securing a memorable FA Cup victory away to Sheffield United.

Speaking following his appointment, Currie has said:

“This is an incredibly proud moment for myself and a great opportunity to take my first steps in management at a club I loved playing for.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my first three weeks in charge and I’m relishing the chance to take this great club forward.

“It’s an exciting new chapter for me and I hope to keep the smiles on the faces of our brilliant supporters.”

Barnet FC Chairman Tony Kleanthous added:

“Darren has created a real buzz around the place that’s been missing for quite a while now.

“He has made a good start to his new career and we all wish him the very best for his future.”
