Sam Bailey has followed his brother Charlie in committing his future to the club, retaining the local core which is vital to the character of the squad.

A dynamic and powerful right-back, Bailey's crosses and long throws, alongside his tenacious defensive work, are much-loved staples of the Dolly Blues' play and fans can look forward to more of the same next season.

Sam told LCFC Media: "I'm really happy to have signed for another season and I'm really looking forward to meeting up with the lads again and hopefully have a successful season individually and as a squad."
