The 36-year-old made 222 appearances in a five-year spell as a Doncaster Rovers player, helping them win promotion to League One in 2016-17.

He left Rovers last summer to rejoin League Two Scunthorpe, where he will continue his playing career.

After serving in the RAF during World War Two he became a lecturer in Old and Middle English and Old Icelandic at Oxford University.
