Brodie spent time on loan at Barrow last season

York City striker Richard Brodie has signed a new contract which will keep him at the club until May 2011.

Manager Martin Foyle had already used an option to retain Brodie for a further season but the player has now committed to York for another year.

The 21-year-old joined York from Newcastle Benfield in 2007.

He scored 19 goals in 46 games for the club last season and was the top goal scorer, the deal follows Ben Purkiss agreeing a new one-year contract.

Foyle told BBC Radio York he still has more signings in the pipeline.

"We have got one or two that have already agreed but with one or two things that are going on and with the physio away we can't get medicals done," he said.

"We're just trying to sort out one or two others. At the moment it's good but it would be nice if we could put one or two more to bed and put a smile on people's faces."
