Captain Sam Pettitt who was pretty much an ever-present last season has committed his long term future to Leek CSOB despite interest from other clubs. Pettitt said "After last season playing with a great set of lads for a great club there's no other club I'd rather spend my future at. I hope all the lads stick together, there's no reason why we cant match what we did last season in the league above but its important we all stick with each other. I'd like to thank everyone for their hard work, not just the players and management but everyone behind the scenes too as without them we couldn't of achieved what we did".
