“Will is a proven goal-scorer, a superb professional and is a key part of the squad. This was one of the priorities of the summer and I thank the chairman and the club for making this possible.

“To have this kind of commitment from Will is a huge shot in the arm for the team, the club and all the supporters.”

Grigg said: “I’m really pleased to have signed a new contract with the club. From the moment I first signed it’s been a whirlwind, but I’ve loved every minute of it and to get this deal done means everything to me.
