Barnsley head coach Paul Heckingbottom has signed a new contract with the club.

The 40-year-old remains on a 12-month rolling deal but on improved personal terms.

Heckingbottom has been in charge of his hometown club for more than 100 matches since taking over two years ago on Monday then leading the Reds to promotion. He has been linked with moves away from Oakwell several times in recent months. 

Barnsley are currently 19th in the Championship, one point clear of the relegation zone, ahead of tomorrow's trip to Queens Park Rangers where they will look for a second win in 16 games.
