The club are very pleased to announce that Brian Dutton has agreed a new contract to keep him with the Whites.

Manager Darrell Clarke is happy to see the popular defender commit himself to the Whites, saying “I’m delighted that Brian’s committed himself to the club. He’s had approaches from one or two other clubs, but he opted to stay and help us build on the success we’ve had this season.

“He’s an important part of the team and he can help us push on and raise our game for next season.”

The Whites defence for the coming season is looking in good shape, with Brian Dutton, Ryan Brett and Chris Giles all re-signed and committed to the club.
