“The management of the club and the loyal supporters are first class and I am really happy to stay here for another two years.”

Coach Gary Thornton welcomed the deal.

He said: “I’m really pleased Tommy has agreed to re-sign.

“Since he came in he has made a big impact both on and off the field and has quickly become a fans’ favourite with his hard running style and no-nonsense approach to his game.

“This was his first full season following major knee injury and he will have built up a lot of confidence from that and I am sure he will kick on and become a big asset to us in our push to get out of League One.

He added: “From a coaching perspective it is pleasing to bring a quality player into the club who has enjoyed his time with us and wants to stay.

“This helps us build some stability into next season’s squad.”
