LOUIS Loader and Jay Saunston have become the latest players to agree to extend their stay at Malvern Town.

The duo join Matthew Turner and Joshua Hunt in committing to the club ahead of the 2018-19 West Midlands (Regional) League Premier Division season.

The versatile Loader is able to play at full-back or in midfield and is renowned for his ability at set pieces.

“This club means so much to me and I am delighted to have signed up for what promises to be an exciting season,” Loader said.

“As a group we’ll be looking to build upon what is already in place and I am looking forward to working with the new managerial team.

“There is a real opportunity for us to achieve something here and I am determined to play my part.”

Centre-back Saunston said he was already looking forward to the new campaign after a "frustrating" 2017-18 season.

“I am delighted to sign again this season,” Saunston said.

“It was a bit frustrating for me last year as I missed part of the campaign, but I will return fitter and stronger than ever.

“There is such a positive vibe amongst the lads and everyone is focussed on taking this club forward.”
