Seb, who has made more than 350 appearances for the first team, put pen to paper on the deal over the weekend, admitting he couldn’t be more delighted.

"I’m really happy to sign again for a club where I feel at home and I’m excited to try and improve again on last season,” Seb said.

“I had a couple of good offers elsewhere, but I feel after the last two years since coming back it wouldn’t be right to leave. We have built something good and there’s a good feeling around the squad.”

“He’s been a great servant for the Club already, he’s our captain, so to secure his services is a big step for us next season.

“He had other offers, he’s been very open with us about it, but he’s also been very open he has no desire to leave the Club. Leiston is his club. He is a leader on the pitch and very influential off it.
