Long-serving defender not offered new contract at Underhill

Barnet have confirmed that long-serving defender Ismail Yakubu will be leaving the club in the summer. The 25-year-old centre-back came through the Bees' youth academy and went on to make almost 300 appearances for them. He was absent for the last 20 games of the 2009/10 season after he suffered a back injury during the match against Torquay on 26th January. The former England C international has been plagued by injuries in recent years, missing the latter part of the 2007/08 campaign with a groin problem and the end of the 2008/09 season with a hamstring injury. The League Two side have confirmed their full retained list will be announced once a permanent successor to departed manager Ian Hendon has been named.
