Centre-back Frankie Whelan has extended his contract with Whitby Town until the summer of 2026.
The 21-year-old joined the Seasiders ahead of the 2024/25 season following his release from Middlesbrough and established himself as a reliable member of Gary Liddle's defence.
In his first season at the Towbar Express Stadium, he made 34 appearances for Town, scoring on one occasion.
Upon signing his new contact, Whelan said:
"I'm buzzing to be at Whitby for another year as I really enjoyed my first season at the club, despite some struggles.
"I'm looking forward to playing with the lads again and seeing where Lidds and Jason can take us next year."
Whitby Town manager, Gary Liddle, added:
"Frankie’s re engagement with us is great news for me and the club as a whole.
"He’s a big part of the squad and had a good season given it was his first taste of men’s football.
"It’s important now he builds on that and keeps improving as he certainly has the right qualities to do so. We look forward to working with him again."
