Stevenage have tied Luke Norris down to a new contract, as announced by their official club website.

Their boss, Alex Revell, has said: “We are also over the moon that Luke has agreed to stay here at the Football Club. He is a local lad and knows how much this football club means to the community.

“We all worked extremely hard to make the deal possible in January and he has been a big part in the upturn of our results with his goals, hold up play and presence – he has been a fantastic platform for us to build from.”

He added: “He has shown a huge appetite to learn and improve alongside being a great character within the group. We now have the opportunity to work with him every day to make him into the player we all believe he can be.”
