George Moncur and Tom Bradshaw would both be open to extending their current Barnsley deals in the coming season.

Both players have two years left on the contracts they penned last summer but the Reds are keen to tie down their star assets having just lost captain Marc Roberts who had one year remaining, while they are hoping to prevent Andy Yiadom departing as well. The Oakwell club have lost nearly all of the team that earned promotion from League One last year then achieved the club's best Championship season since 2000. Moncur is one of Barnsley's star attacking players after ending last season on top form.

The 23-year-old midfielder told the Chronicle: "If I am playing and it is all going great, which I am sure it will be because I enjoy my football here, then obviously I would be over the moon with signing a contract. This is the place I want to play football in the future. I have really enjoyed it here and the club means a lot to me.

"I know exactly what the manager (head coach Paul Heckingbottom) wants of me. The manager is great with me and I enjoy working under him every day. He's unbelievable for me and for the team."

Bradshaw, who turned 25 yesterday, is the only first team striker at the club and netted eight goals last season.He would also be interested in extending his current deal.

He told the Chronicle: "I would be receptive to any contract talks. I am probably at the bottom of the list because I have two years left on my contract. But I love the club and the fans and the gaffer so it's something I would be open to."

Angus MacDonald and Adam Davies have extended their deals within the last year, with both due to run out at the same time as Moncur's and Bradshaw's in 2019.Yiadom, Adam Hammill and Sessi D'Almeida will be among the players out of contract next summer.
