He told the club’s official website: “The manager’s had a very positive impact on the club so far and I’m sure we will continue to build on that,” he said. “It’s a great time to be at the club, and for me to have my future sorted and know that I’m going to be working with the manager for the coming seasons is great.

“The manager’s had a say in me re-signing here, and he has played a big role in me deciding to stay here, and you can tell he’s a top-class manager.

“I still feel that I have a lot to give and I know that, under him, I can develop and progress and contribute to the team’s success.

“I’m happy here and happy to commit my future to the club that I’m proud of, and I’m just really excited for the future.”
