Cambridge midfielder Lewis Simper has signed a one-year extension to his current contract.

Simper, who came through the club’s youth set-up, will see his deal run through until June 2023, having spent a spell on loan at Concord Rangers last season.

U’s head coach Mark Bonner said on the club website: “This contract gives Lewis more time to keep developing.

“If he commits to his work and keeps striving to improve, he is a player who can have a bright future with us.”
