Tranmere Rovers have given a one-year extension to player-coach goalkeeper Joe Murphy and a two-year deal to forward Harvey Saunders.
Veteran Murphy, 42, will stay on as a player and goalkeeping coach for the 2024-25 season. He has made 45 appearances for Rovers.

"It's been an honour to come back and represent the club both as a player and now as a coach," Murphy said.
"For me to extend for another year is an absolute honour and a privilege to wear that badge on my chest."
Saunders added: "I'm delighted to be staying for two more years. I've loved my time here so far and I'm looking forward to next year to push on and hit the ground running."
