www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/bristol-rovers-clarke-harris-hull-3332476Most interesting article I have seen from BP if true. Apparently he has 2 years left on his contract. Hull wanted him in the summer but were only prepared to pay £450k. He is the most fouled player in L1 this season (He has this part of his game down to a fine art). Our biggest asset (player wise) by a country mile.

Didn't know he already has a contract until 2022.

Well that's contradictory as the article says 2 years.

You're right about the length of the contract. Currently lasts until 2021 - the club want to extend it to 2022.

I can feel a release clause happening...

Think some desperate Championship club will pay upwards of £1,000,000 if he carries on banging them in.
Anything under I'd tell 'em where to go.

Absolutely what the club should be doing, the man probably saved us from relegation with his goals last year and he is our biggest source of hope at the club at the moment.
His stock will only continue to rise so it’s sensible to try and tie him down to a contract now before his head is turned even if it makes him the highest earner at the club.

He should be the highest earner at the club, he deserves it.

Finally! We’re learning!
Best news I’ve seen today, fingers crossed we can sort out a deal. I also wouldn’t expect a release clause if we are extending a contract from 18 months to 32 months, just an increase in pay/bonuses & length. I hope so anyway.
If he keeps up the form he will be worth £2m in the summer no doubt - I’m glad he’s enjoying his time here under GC too.

He is the most fouled player in L1 this season (He has this part of his game down to a fine art). Our biggest asset (player wise) by a country mile. I wonder which toe they wanted? Assuming no release clause, he's got to be worth £3m minimum in this climate. Cardiff paid £2m for Gavin Whyte only a few months ago which speaks volumes.

We really need to learn our lessons here from previous mistakes. Get him under a proper contract with a 3 million minimum release cause.
No excuses this time around, time is on our side and there's nothing to suggest we're being pressured into selling from the man himself.

In this market, with a long contract, he should be worth £3-4 million IMO. Hopefully with DC gone we will have better control over our players’ contracts, as we got only around £1.5 million for Taylor, Bodin and Harrison when we should have gotten at least £7 million for the three of them.

If he keeps up the form he will be worth £2m in the summer no doubt - I’m glad he’s enjoying his time here under GC too. If you were JCH would you sign a new contract without a release clause? I wouldn’t. Rather than have a 1 or 2k a week pay rise now I’d back my ability for the year or two left and bank on leaving on a free and pick up a huge signing on fee from a championship club + championship wages or wait and see if my form leads a club to break the bank for me in January. The way I see it, given the form he is in, there is no way his agent will let him sign a new contract unless there is a low release clause in it. I think Rovers might be in danger of paying more money to end up with an explicit release clause that decides how much he goes for in January rather than us setting out how much we want to sell him for. As it stands he has until 2021 to go so we are under no pressure to do anything right this minute.

Well that's all well and nice, but put one in and we say no then JCH will live out earning 1k/2k per week less than he could, he'd also put himself in a bad position with the club. The club would almost certainly say no to a low release clause at this point. Why would they? It's not like with Taylor when he was actually out of contract. Otherwise we can just sell him if we want to & get the money when we want and pay him less money. Don't forget that this is JCH's first real success, it's not like he's been banging them in all his career. He's probably happy here and he's doing really well for himself & the team, there is no reason to ruin that. Let's be honest, if JCH was on a 10 year deal and wanted to leave we wouldn't stand in his way anyway.
