Port Vale has announced that its first team skipper has signed a new one-year deal with the club.
Leon Legge, who has been at the club since 2018, will now stay at Vale Park until the summer of 2021.
The 34-year-old defender has played every minute of the 2019/20 campaign so far as the Valiants site 8th in League Two, just a point outside of the play-offs.
In a statement Port Vale said: “Not only has Legge been an inspirational voice amongst the squad, but his standout performances on the pitch this season have justified his managers’ faith in his ability.
“Outside of football, the skipper has been very open about his struggles with epilepsy and has dedicated a blog called ‘Epilepsy Baller’ in which Leon recalls different stories and experiences, which could go a long way to helping a fellow epilepsy sufferer understand the condition better.
“The blog has shown that Legge is not only a leader on the pitch, but also an inspiration off the pitch, and his openness about his condition is something to be admired.
“Legge’s well-roundedness not only as a player but as a human being means that his one-year contract extension is met with delight around the club.”
