Ipswich Town 0 v 2 Liverpool FA Premier League Saturday, 17th August 2024 Kick-off 12:30 |
One of Pompey's promotion heroes pleased to seal new deal Tuesday, 16th Jul 2024 09:40 by Pompey-fans.com staff Pompey begin their programme of pre-season friendlies in earnest this week with more new faces to come - but with what many will think is one of their best deals of the summer done. Fans have been delighted with news that Conor Shaughnessy, one of last season's star performers as the Blues won League One, having signed a new three-year contract with the option of an extra year. Boss John Mousinho told the Pompey website: 'Conor started 45 out of 46 league games last season and was outstanding for us. He was named in the League One Team of the Year and also chipped in with some really important goals – including, of course, that one against Barnsley. 'So we were keen to give him a new deal and are delighted to keep Conor at the club for even longer.' Shaughnessy told the club: 'I’m over the moon to sign an extension to my contract and there’s no place I’d rather be. To be able to continue my career here is perfect and now I’m exited for the next few years at Pompey. 'We’re coming off the back of a great season and I spoke to everyone about the ambition at this club. We are heading in the right direction and so it felt right for me to commit. “There’s a real buzz around the place and the set-up here is incredible – now we want to continue to raise the standards. We have to put away what’s happened in the past and look to build on it. I want to help push this club on again.' Pompey fans get their first chance of 2024-25 to see the team in action at Gosport Borough on Tuesday night. They then visit Havant on Friday and Bognor on Saturday. It's likely a mix of first-team squad members, young hopefuls and probably a fair few trialists will be seen across the matches.
