MURRAY SIGNS NEW CONTRACT

Winger Jay Murray has been rewarded for his fine form this season with a contract extension.

Jay becomes the fourth player to commit his long-term future to the club following the extensions of skipper Keiran Thomas and striker Marlon Jackson this season, as well as the long-term contract of top scorer Dayle Grubb.

Since signing from Clevedon Town last summer, Murray has made 33 appearances and assisted four goals for his teammates in an impressive first season at The Optima.

Manager Scott Bartlett said:

Jay has done really well and we are pleased with his progress.

“He is an old fashioned, direct winger, an infectious character and I’m looking forward to working with him beyond this season.”

On extending his contract, Jay said:

It’s been key for my development coming from two leagues down, it’s a massive step up and helped me improve massively as a player.

“I feel like I’ve adapted well. I’d just like to thank the coaches, the fans, everyone involved so far.”

We wish Jay all the best going forward in a Weston shirt.
