Club chairman, Steve Neale, said: “We are not in the business of selling our best players with the club having our own lofty ambitions.
“Tee, of course, is also a vital member of our Community team so it is with double delight that he is staying with us.
“Barrow Raiders have been guilty in the past of not looking to secure longer term deals for their local talent but that policy will change if we are confident that the players can produce at a higher level.”
