LATICS defender Jamie Stott has signed a two-year contract extension with the option of a third year.
The 20-year-old, who joined the club aged eight and has progressed through the youth ranks, has made four senior appearances since signing professionally in 2016.
On his debut, Stott earned the man of the match award as Athletic beat Bolton Wanderers 1-0 at Boundary Park in April, 2017.
Stott enjoyed loan spells away from the club last season, notably helping Stockport County reach the National League North play-offs before being recalled by the club.
Stott’s contract runs until the end of the 2019/20 season.
