Woodrow \u2018Happy\u2019 to Stay at Barnsley<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Speaking to the club website,<\/a> Woodrow said: \u201cI know there\u2019s been a lot of speculation recently about my future, but as soon as I heard that Barnsley were offering me a new contract it was something I was keen on doing.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast season we managed to stay in the Championship, which was a massive achievement for us, but now we all want to kick on and do well this season. I\u2019m happy to secure my future here and I look forward to the years ahead.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, chief executive officer Dane Murphy expressed his delight at holding onto Woodrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cA number of clubs have shown significant interest in Cauley over this transfer window and, having fended off the attention, we\u2019re delighted that he\u2019s signed a new contract,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went on record earlier this summer stating that the Club wanted to retain the core of this squad for the current season. The Club has done its best to achieve that and now I look forward to seeing Cauley getting back to doing what he does best, scoring goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
