Accrington midfielder Conneely signs new deal

Seamus Conneely has made 378 appearances for Accrington Stanley in all competitions

Accrington Stanley midfielder Seamus Conneely has signed a new one-year deal, two months after the club had announced he would be leaving.

The 36-year-old joined Stanley from Sligo Rovers in January 2015 and has made 330 league appearances.

The League Two side had previously confirmed in May that he would be departing when his contract ended in June but they have now come to an agreement on a new deal.

"Discussions were ongoing over the summer - my family are very settled in the area and I wanted to stay, I want to be here for the long term and I see my future here at this club," he told the club website.

"We were able to come to an agreement, which is pleasing for me and my family, and we are looking forward to the season ahead."
