Scott Brown: Accrington Stanley midfielder signs contract until 2018

Scott Brown joined Accrington from Grimsby in January

Accrington Stanley midfielder Scott Brown has signed a new two-year contract with the League Two side.

The 31-year-old joined Stanley in January and was approaching the end of his contract, but his new deal keeps him at the Wham Stadium until 2018.

Brown, a former Everton trainee, worked with Stanley boss John Coleman at Southport and has also spent time at Bristol City, Port Vale and Morecambe.

"I've enjoyed my time here and working with the gaffer," he said.

"I always think if it isn't broke, don't fix it. I'm glad that the club have been able to give me stability and an offer that I'm really happy with. I'm glad to be part of what I think will be good things next season."
