The 37-year-old moved on to the club's coaching staff in the summer of 2023 after retiring as a player with the Mariners.

The former centre-back made 207 appearances for the Blundell Park side across two spells.

Meanwhile, Town full-back Reece Staunton has signed a new three-year deal.

The 24-year-old joined from Spennymoor Town last summer and made 49 appearances in all competitions in 2025-26.
