The 24 year old signed for the club in the summer of 2004 and has made 84 appearances for the club.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <font face="Times New Roman" size="3"> </font></p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">On signing this afternoon Paul expressed his delight at securing his new deal at Oakwell "On the back of the result at the Millennium Stadium I am delighted to commit myself to Barnsley Football Club and have the chance of playing Championship football for next 2 seasons. There was never any doubt that I wanted to stay at the club <font color="#ff0000">even when I was offered more lucrative contracts elsewhere</font>. I am very happy that my future is now sorted and I get the chance to lead Barnsley Football Club out as a Championship team. I hope I will be the first of many of the promotion winning side to resign, it's very important that we keep this side together. The fans at the Millennium Stadium were fantastic and showed the kind of support this club could potentially have, I would urge all the fans that made it to the Millennium to get behind us this coming season."</font></p>
