The 30-year-old joined Town from Tottenham Hotspur in January and scored twice in 10 games, both long-range strikes in a 3-0 win over Birmingham City.

The signing follows the appointment of Matt Pooley as assistant manager after previously working as under-18s lead coach in the men's academy. "He brings a wealth of experience in player development and a strong understanding of creating high-performance environments.
