Barnsley youngster Joe Ackroyd has signed a new one-year deal with the club having an option to keep him for a further season.
The 20-year-old from Darfield is yet to make his league debut but came off the bench in the FA Cup win over Barrow in January last year and also played in the EFL Trophy.
He was loaned to Czech second tier side Vyskov in 2022 as well as non-league clubs Guiseley and Buxton last season.
Fellow homegrown youngsters such as Aiden Marsh and Charlie Winfield have also been offered new deals.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
