Bevan was a key member of the squad last season, providing energy, physicality and quality in the middle of the park throughout the campaign.

His commitment is another major boost for the club ahead of the new season as preparations continue for the 2026/27 campaign.

First Team Manager Jack Alderdice said: “ Jake had a huge impact after signing last season both on and off the pitch. Given his age, he'll only continue to improve and will certainly be a massive player again for us this coming season.”

Bevan becomes the fifth player confirmed for next season, with plenty more squad news still to come.
