NEEDHAM Market midfielder Bradley Barber has put pen to paper on a deal to commit himself to the club until the end of the 2011/12 season.

Barber joined the club initially on non-contract terms at the start of the current season and has quickly established himself in the team, playing a key role in the club’s promotion push from Division One North of the Ryman League.

Manager Danny Laws said: “As a club we are always looking to add quality to the playing squad, but equally important is to ensure that we secure the players that are already at the club for the longer term, and in Bradley Barber we have witnessed a player who has made the step up to Ryman League Football this season and taken it in his stride.

“I am convinced that there is more to come from Bradley as a player, and at Needham Market we will reap the benefit of his continued development.”
