Town stalwart Joe Melling agrees to new deal.

"The supporters love him, being a local lad, and I'm pleased he has got the chance to play at a higher level at this stage of his career."

He has committed to another season at the Mike Riding Ground, as manager Lee Ashcroft continues to build ahead of the club's first season in the North West Counties.

The coming campaign will be the popular defender's 13th season with the club which will see him having been part of the journey from Preston District League through to the Hallmark Security Division One North.

Speaking after Melling put pen to paper, Manager Lee Ashcroft said:

"I'm delighted to retain Joe's services for this season. He has been a mainstay of the side for a long time and is as fit as he's ever been.

"The supporters love him, being a local lad, and I'm pleased he has got the chance to play at a higher level at this stage of his career."

As well as confirming his plans to stay with the Ridge, as pictured, Joe can also be seen giving fans a sneak peak of the club's new kit for the coming season along with Chairman Kevin Harrison.
