Stockport County defender Neill Byrne has signed a new two-year deal.

The 30-year-old joined the Hatters on a short-term deal from Tranmere Rovers in January.

Byrne made 21 appearances as the Edgeley Park side made the League Two play-off final.

"He has turned down a number of other offers to stay here, and we are delighted to have him," director of football Simon Wilson told the club website.
