The young defender, who has had two loan spells with the Robins, helped the side avoid relegation with an impressive run in at the end of last season.

Capel, who was a former Cambridge United scholar, had spells at Histon and Cherry Hinton before joining Cambridge City, originally as a youth team player.

He then went on to break through into the Lillywhites first team at Step 4 level.

Manager Brady Stone told the club`s website: “I am delighted to have Adam at the club. He was fantastic during the last month of the season when he was on loan. He is a great lad on and off the pitch and I am so looking forward to working with him next season.”

Stone also confirmed that most of his squad from last season has already signed up for the forthcoming season.

“The main aim was to keep the squad from last season, and we have nearly done that. There are still a few players yet to re-sign but we have not lost anyone which is really pleasing”.
