Nik Tavares has signed a contract extension with Barnet that will keep him at the League Two outfit until the summer of 2028.

The South Africa-born 27-year-old has become a mainstay in Dean Brennan's side, making 37 appearances last season as Barnet narrowly missed out on reaching the play-offs.

Having initially joined the club in the summer of 2024, this is the second contract extension Tavares has signed.

"The club's been a perfect fit for me," Tavares told the club website.

Brennan added: "Tavs' deal shows the progression of the football club and how we value our top players."
