The experienced central defender, who will turn 36 next Wednesday, made 23 United appearances during the recently completed season after joining in January. He joins Sam Adams in remaining at The Pilot Field.

United have arranged pre-season friendlies away to Westfield on Saturday July 13, away to Dover Athletic on July 16, at home to Eastbourne Borough on Tuesday July 23 and at home to Brighton City (formerly Whitehawk) on Tuesday July 30.

The club’s Super 5 draw for May 10 produced three winners with three numbers correct (each receiving £5.58), but none with four or the full house of five. The winning numbers were 4, 6, 12, 28 and 32.
