Connell Rawlinson has signed a new two-year contract with the club.
The Welsh defender has established himself as a hugely popular figure at Meadow Lane thanks to his heart-on-the-sleeve performances in the centre of defence.
And supporters can now look forward to seeing plenty more of the 29-year-old after he accepted the opportunity to prolong his stay in the East Midlands.
“I’m really pleased,” said head coach Ian Burchnall. “Connell’s been a big part of our defensive unit for a while now.
“He’s a good leader – very professional - and a great character to have about.
“We’ve used him on the right of a back three a lot but I think he can stake his claim in the middle because he’s commanding in the air and a committed defender. He’s comfortable on the ball, too, so he can play a variety of roles at the back.
“He’s another player that wants to show commitment to the club by staying and helping us get out of this division.”
