Albert Adomah, who was offered a 20 per cent increase on a contract that was the highest ever offered a Barnet player, has rejected the deal.

The 22-year-old, whose old contract finishes on June 30, has contacted chairman Tony Kleanthous to say that he wants to play at a higher level than Barnet.

The Bees have rejected several big money offers from Championship clubs for Adomah, who scored 20 goals in 111 starts and nine substitute appearances after signing from Harrow Borough. As he is under 24 the club will receive compensation from a club that signs him.
