BASINGSTOKE Town club captain David Ray has re-signed for Dragons on a two year deal and he is a big returnee for the Dragons.

The centre-half originally joined Town in 2002, as a 17-year-old and went onto make over 200 appearances with the club in his first spell at the club.

He returned to the Dragons in February 2013 and is now the lynchpin of the Basingstoke's defence.

Ray became club captain at end of 2014 and the born leader is an ideal role model for the young side that manager Terry Brown is building.

A delighted Brown said: "David brings some much quality and experience to the side at this level. He is an ideal role model.

"He has been at the club on and off for 11 years and he is a Mr Basingstoke like Jason Bristow, so I am pleased both are on board.

"David will be great at helping the young defenders and when he returned at the end of last season he proved what a difference he makes as we kept a number of clean sheets.

Town are hoping to announce some more signings in the next couple of days.
