“Glen signed a new contract a few weeks ago and that was a big indicator for me to commit my future to the club.
“I’ve been here nearly six years now and I’ve loved every minute of the journey. The last three seasons haven’t been great with Covid and our own performances, but we still have a chance of making the play-offs this season.
“I wasn’t aware of any interest from other clubs and I didn’t have any options, but considering that I’ve done well over the last few years I would be surprised if there wasn’t some interest.
“The new gaffers have been unbelievable with me. They said I was exactly the type of player they were looking for when they first came in.
“All they want is someone who will work hard and give everything for the cause, and that in turn will earn them your admiration and respect.
“After the Gateshead game they said they manage the game as I play it. It’s an all out approach when I sometimes get angry, but they love it and tell me to never change.
“The rest of this season is about reaching those play-off places which would require a good run starting on Saturday at Farsley.
“Beyond that it’s all about getting promoted. It’s what the chairman and managers want and the whole club is built around reaching that next level.“
