Barnsley winger Jamal Campbell-Ryce has signed a new three-year contract with the Championship strugglers, tying him to the Oakwell club until the summer of 2011.

The 25-year-old Jamaica winger joined the Tykes in August 2007 from Southend United and has scored six times in 49 appearances for Simon Davey's side.

Davey told the club's official website: "It's fantastic for everybody connected that Jamal has shown his commitment to our club by agreeing a new three-year deal.

"Jamal has been in fine form since arriving from Southend last season and we are delighted that he'll be staying for at least the next three years."

Campbell-Ryce himself added: "I'm settled up here now and have my family around me.

"It was a very easy decision to stay and I want to repay everything this club has done for me."
