Byron Lawrence and Robert Eagle pen new deals while Nigel Ling joins the club as Goalkeeping Coach

Byron Lawrence and Robert Eagle have agreed terms for next season after negotiating new deals during the week.

Manager Stuart Boardley said during the week: - ‘I am delighted that Byron and Robert have agreed to play their football with us next season.

Nigel Ling has also joined from the Ipswich Town Academy having been Goalkeeping Coach for them for the past 10 seasons. On this appointment, Boardley said: - ‘We are pleased to attract a Goalkeeping Coach such as Nigel to the club. His calibre and experience is a real coup and we look forward to working with him next season.’
