Josh Ruffels extends his stay!

Josh Ruffels has extended his stay at Salop until the end of the 2025/26 campaign.

The 32-year-old initially joined on a short-term contract in October, but has today renewed his commitment until the summer.

So far, Josh has featured 14 times this year, netting once.

Michael Appleton said: “Bringing Josh in has been key for us because of the experience he has.

"He can play in a number of different positions. We’ve been using him in central midfield, but he’s equally comfortable at centre-back, left-back or wing-back, which gives us real flexibility.

"I know exactly what he brings as a person as well - I worked with him for three years at Oxford and the character he has is so important for the group.

"He’s already had a big impact in the dressing room, and that attitude and mentality will be vital for us over the remaining 22 games of the season.”
