Neil Harris earns new Millwall contract
Millwall striker Neil Harris has been rewarded with the offer of a new contract after a strong finish to the season.
The 30-year-old was all set to leave the club after last Saturday's final League One game at Swindon, but was desperate to extend his stay at The Den, a plea he put in print in The Wharf last week.
But Harris' man-of-the-match display against Carlisle on April 26 seems to have persuaded Lions' boss Kenny Jackett to reconsider his decision to allow him to leave on a free transfer.
Millwall have also offered new contracts to Chris Hackett and Chris Zebroski but nine other players are looking for new clubs after being released.
Chris Day, Tom Brighton, Mark Phillips, Gavin Grant, Andrew Callaghan, Ross Gaynor, Ryan James, Rhys Evans and Zoom Bakayogo will all be leaving when their contracts expire at the end of next month, as Jackett looks to rebuild his squad for next season.
Harris is taking part in the Everyman 5km run in Victoria Park on June 1. Places are still available on the run, which will raise money and awareness for testicular cancer. Log on to www.everyman-campaign.org
