Quakers offered him new terms and a guaranteed testimonial in recognition of

Darlington goal against Spennymoor Town.

memorable goals along the way, perhaps the most memorable of the lot being the
opening goal at Whitby in the Northern Premier League season on the night Quakers
clinched the title.
