I think the club’s got great aspirations and I like the direction they’re moving in. I want to be a part of that, so that was kind of my decision to sign that extension and try and go with it.

Leyton Orient could have seen Dacres-Cogley as someone to boost their defensive ranks.
They will now have to look elsewhere for players in his position this summer.
The Coventry-born man rose up through the academy ranks at Birmingham City and went on to play 30 times for the Blues in his early career, as well as having a loan spell away at Crawley Town to get some experience.
He cut ties with the Midlands outfit on a permanent basis in 2021 and subsequently dropped into League Two to join Tranmere Rovers.
Dacres-Cogley then played 100 matches during his time at Prenton Park before Bolton Wanderers swooped in.
After linking up with the Trotters, he told their website at the time: “When Bolton come to you, you can’t really turn them down because of the size of the club and the history. I’m really excited to be here.”
His current club are eyeing promotion to the Championship right now and are in the play-offs with Wrexham, Stockport County and Charlton Athletic.
