Brakes boss Paul Holleran has revealed that after discussions with top scorer Colby Bishop the young striker has agreed to extend his current contract to the end of the forthcoming season.
'Due to mounting speculation over his position at the club I wanted to clarify our position as there has understandably been interest in Colby,' said the manager. 'After having a couple of meetings, at this moment in time Colby Bishop feels that the best thing for him is to continue his football at Leamington Football Club. Colby has had a difficult couple of seasons which were exacerbated by the ACL injury he sustained, but he has shown tremendous character to come back in the manner that he has, and has had a fantastic five months.
'Colby and the club feel that if he continues in the same vein that he has been then the opportunity to return to full time football will surely arise, which is obviously an ambition of his, but for the forseeable future Colby feels that the best place for him to continue his football development and education is here with us at Leamington.'
We are sure that this news will delight Brakes fans everywhere, and we look forward to seeing Colby playing and scoring for Leamington again next season.'
