The 19-year-old, who made his National League debut against Maidenhead United on the final day of last season, has put pen-to-paper on a new one-year deal to remain part of the club’s under-23s set-up.

He will be joined by returning defender Billy Bradley and winger Ed Daffern.

Other new faces within the set-up include defenders Zac Hibbard (Rotherham United) and Jaxon Blankley (Grimsby Town).

The squad will be bolstered by goalkeeper Zach Marsh, defender Finley Ging and midfielders Will Langford and Rueben Fogg - who have all progressed from the club’s academy system.

Further new faces will be announced in due course.
