Had a good conversation with a close friend of Luke's today and he mentioned how well TUFC had looked after him during his rehabilitation and that there was no question Of him signing for another club.

Luke only ever wished to pay back TUFC for way the he has been treated and moreover signed a contract which reflects this.

Top bloke!

Great news and one to build a team around. Let's hope a few more soon see staying put as the best option.

Gerring was announced as 'signed', with the length mentioned and a picture of him with pen in hand. Chaney and Young had the wording 'agreed' so perhaps details will be held back until ink has met paper.

This is great news however just to add a little more intrigue, the length of his new contract is undisclosed.
Perhaps other clubs were showing an interest in Luke and therefore KN has secured a decent transfer fee, should it be needed.

Well done to KN, LY and the Board!

'Seems', Madam? Yea, it is. I know not 'seems'.

Seems! It's fantastic news. The spine of the team is being built. We just need the Angus's to follow suit

During his injury, I was almost expecting him to stay. If he had no intention of staying at the end of the season I doubt that the club would have kept him, and would have preferred paying him off. However, I am truly excited for next season after hearing about this. I just hope the rest of the team will be of good quality. On his day, Luke is much better than most midfielders in League 2. He is very calm on the ball and that rubs off on those around him, as shown in the last few games of last season. Also, he is a constant threat from set pieces, especially free kicks, something we have lacked all season really. Very happy with this news

Any idea if its a one or two year deal? I hope its two - I am expecting big things from him next season and expect him to be attracting a lot of attention by the end of the season. Great news - another coup for Nicho!

Great News, well done Nicho, and thank you Luke

Really good news

Excellent news. But am I the only one who isn't surprised?

Two reason - firstly, he's a Devon lad born and raised. With Argyle and City unlikely to want him, we are always his next best option. Secondly - he's always struck me as being a decent bloke. The club stood by him throughout his rehab, I imagine Luke Young feels like he owes the club something now in return.

As has been said, hopefully this will be the catalyst for a few other key players signing on

Excellent news in all ways. Might even encourage some others to sign as well.

Seems like good news.

Big signing. His second half performance at Gateshead was really crucial in the great escape.

great news, now we need blisset to sign, come on bliss, the gulls need you!
