Rathbone signs new deal

There was great news coming out of the club on Friday afternoon as it was announced that Ollie Rathbone had signed an extension to his contract.

Rathbone signed a twelve month deal in the Summer of 2016 but that deal included a clause for an additional twelve months which the club triggered back in March. However, they've gone one step further this afternoon by giving him a new two year contract.

The former Man U midfielder has been something of revelation since breaking into the team at around the turn of the year, and is integral to the pressing game that we play.
