Barnet Football Club are delighted to announce that John Akinde has signed a new contract with the Bees.

Last season’s top scorer has penned a three year deal with the club, keeping him at The Hive until the end of the 2018-19 season.

Akinde was the Bees’ top goalscorer last season with 24 goals in all competitions.

He has scored a total of 57 times in 97 matches since he first pulled on a black & amber shirt two seasons ago.

The striker was the club’s Player of the Year in 2014-15, when his 31 league goals helped Barnet secure promotion to the Football League for a third time.

Everyone at The Hive hopes that John will continue his goal scoring exploits next season, and are very pleased that he is extending his stay with the Bees!
