Luke Wall has committed his future to Runcorn Linnets in another big boost to preparations for the new season.

The former Bala Town winger made 50 appearances as a regular in his debut season at the club - only Adam Moseley, with 51, playing more times.

Luke, who has also featured in the 10 position, scored six goals and made a significant contribution with the number of assists both in open and set plays.

His trusted left foot has been a major weapon in Linnets' attacking armoury, be it from shots or crosses.

Manager Brad Cooke is delighted to have the 28-year-old on board again for his first full campaign in charge.

The boss said: "It’s no secret how much I rate Wally.

"He is a brilliant lad and a big character in the changing room, who everyone respects.

"I am made up he’s agreed to stay. He has had plenty interest from other clubs, so for him to commit shows how much he enjoys being at this football club.

"I am looking forward to working with him again, He’s a special player!"

Luke Wall said: "I am buzzing to be staying, never felt so settled as I am with this group of lads and management, really think we can achieve something big this season.

"The support from the fans and everyone behind the scenes has been class."

A former professional with Blackburn Rovers and Accrington Stanley, Luke has played for various non-league clubs in England and Wales.

While at Bangor City, he was named in the Welsh Premier League's 2017-18 Team of the Year.

Liverpool-born Luke has also played in Gibraltar for Boca Gibraltar and Lincoln Red Imps.
