Barnet has signed new deal with Sierra Leone International Idris Kanu, who was part of the 2021 Cup of Nations squad in Cameroon.

Idris played a significant role for the Bees last season, making 38 appearances in the Vanarama National League. He contributed 2 goals and 3 assists during the title-winning season, including a crucial goal in the thrilling comeback against Dagenham & Redbridge, which ended in a 4-3 victory.

Having joined the club in September 2022 from Peterborough United, Idris quickly became a regular and key player in Manager Dean Brennan’s squad. In total, he has made 117 appearances for Barnet, scoring 18 goals and providing 9 assists.

Speaking about his new contract, Barnet Manager Dean Brennan said, “Idris has been a special player for the club over the last two years and has played a massive part in our success. He’s a huge personality within the group, and we’re delighted he has committed his future to the football club.”
