Truro City defender Dean extends contract

Will Dean made 13 appearances for Exeter City at the start of his career

Truro City defender Will Dean has signed a new contract with the newly-promoted National League side.

The 24-year-old, who moved to the Tinners in 2021 after being released by Exeter City, has agreed a full-time deal with the club.

He has been part of two promotion-winning sides, having also helping the club go up via the Southern Premier South play-offs in 2023.

Dean was a key member of the side that won the National League South title last season, making 41 appearances and scoring four goals, including the opener in a vital 2-1 win over Worthing.

"I love my football here and I play my best football here," Dean told the club website.

"You couldn't write it because at the start of the season everyone had us down and out. But somehow, we produced magical things on the pitch because we are a tight group that works hard for each other.

"At the end of the day, that's what has given us success and we pride ourselves on hard work.

"We run hard, compete and do the basics of football quite well. If you have those fundamentals, along with quality throughout the ranks, it is a good match."
