Joel Randall has put pen to paper on a new three-year contract at the football club.
Peterborough United are pleased to announce that Joel Randall has agreed a new three-year contract, which will keep him at the club until 2027.
The 24-year-old netted 12 goals in all competitions last term and was a key performer in Darren Ferguson's side that won the EFL Trophy at Wembley and reached the Sky Bet League One play-off semi-finals.
Manager Darren Ferguson is delighted that Randall has penned a long-term deal. "There was a lot of interest in Joel, there were bids for him and we are going into a situation whereby some of our players are entering the final year of their deals.
"We felt we had to try and tie them down and Joel is hopefully the first of others. Credit to the chairman, he has gone all out to tie the boy down to a long-term contract.
"He is a massive player for us, I think everybody saw last year glimpses of what he can be. He has a really good temperament, he comes alive in big games and we feel he can kick on.
"To secure him for another three years is really important for us. For me, he is going to be one of the best signings we have made this summer. It is brilliant news and I am looking forward to continuing to work together."
Randall is over the moon to get the deal done and believes he can repay the faith shown in him by the management and the club.
"I am delighted to get it done. It has been going on a little bit in the background, so to get it all done ahead of the season is great for me.
"The club have shown enormous faith in me and I want to repay that faith. I can just concentrate on my football. I knew there was interest in the summer, and that can often lead to a lot of uncertainty, so for the club to offer me this deal shows how much they believe in me and I am really grateful for that and I can't wait to get out there on the pitch."
