Confirmed : The One And Only Akinfenwa Pens Contract Extension With Wycombe Wanderers

Published: June 13, 2019

London-born Nigerian striker Adebayo Akinfenwa has inked a new one-year contract with EFL League One side Wycombe Wanderers which will keep him at The Blues until at least the end of the 2019-2020 season.

The 37-year-old featured heavily for Wycombe Wanderers last term, making 39 appearances in all competitions and was involved in 16 goals (7 goals, 9 assists).

And he has now extended his stay at Adams Park for a fourth season after joining the club from AFC Wimbledon in 2016.

''People have been writing Bayo off since he first pulled on a pair of football boots, but he continues to deliver year after year and he’s such a huge part of what we’ve been building here, so I’m delighted to keep him here,'' manager Gareth Ainsworth told the club's official website.

''He brings so much to the club, on and off the pitch, and I know how popular he is with the rest of the squad, all the staff, and all of the supporters, and I firmly believe he’s still got what it takes to be a real driving force for us again next season.''

Regarded as one of the strongest footballers in the world, Bayo has notched up over 170 goals in the Football League.
