Carlisle United have announced as per their official website that they have agreed on a deal that will see them extend the contract of star defender Rhys Bennett. The announcement comes after some weeks of discussion and contract negotiations which involved the player and his agent. He will now stay with the Cumbrians till at least the end of the current campaign.
It is both huge news and a big boost for the club who are currently the leaders of the League Two division after the defender put in some fine performances that have seen him earn a contract renewal. He was strongly linked with an exit and rumours had it that Bolton Wanderers were his most likely destination but with the latest development, he seems to be going nowhere at the moment.
