Angus MacDonald has signed a new contract with Barnsley which ties him to the club until the end of the 2018/19 season.
The highly-rated central defender has proved a revelation in his first season at Oakwell, making the big step up from National League football with Torquay United to play in 30 Sky Bet Championship games.
MacDonald was linked with a number of Championship rivals during the January transfer window and scored his first goal for the club in their FA Cup clash with Blackpool that same month.
He said: "I'm over the moon and I'm very thankful to the club for rewarding me with this new contract.
"When I first joined in the summer my targets were to work hard and hopefully break into the first team, so to be stood here today with 30 Championship appearances to my name is a dream come true.
"I am very grateful to Hecky [head coach Paul Heckingbottom] and the coaching staff who have dedicated a lot of time to me over the past six months and have helped to develop my game and improve key areas.
"The fans have been absolutely brilliant with me, even though I'm a southerner! I'll be giving everything for this football club to ensure that we finish as high up the league table and possible and then we can look forward to even more success next season.
"It has been a superb season; it's a very positive environment to be in as a footballer and it feels like we are building something special."
