Dan Batty signs contract extension at Fleetwood Town

The midfielder had initially signed a deal until the end of the season, coming into the club on Simon Grayson s first day in charge of Fleetwood, January's deadline day.

The 23-year-old has signed a new two-year-deal keeping him at Highbury until 2023.

Batty is the fourth Fleetwood player to sign a new deal in recent weeks, with Ged Garner, Alex Cairns and Jordan Rossiter all extending their stays.

The former Hull City man has been a key figure at the heart of the Town midfield since switching to the Fylde coast, an ever-present since his free transfer.
