ALAN Power insists "there are not many clubs at this level who can rival Lincoln's size and stature" after the midfielder signed a new deal at Sincil Bank.
The Irishman has penned a two-year contract, ending speculation about his future having been able to leave the club on a free transfer.
Power, pictured, is thrilled to remain with the Imps, and admits to being impressed by a host of summer signings by Imps boss Gary Simpson.
Waide Fairhurst, Sean Newton, Danny Rowe, Jon Nolan, Adi Yussuf and Todd Jordan have joined City since the end of the last campaign.
"It would have taken a lot for somebody to entice me away from Lincoln," he said.
"There was a couple of sniffs, but you realise there are not many clubs at this level who can rival Lincoln's size and stature.
"I am settled here and I like the city as a place – it's a beautiful place to live.
"Not only that, we've made some good signings and while last season was a bit rough, the only way is up now.
"I cannot wait to get started."
Simpson believes Power's decision and his raft of new signings are a clear indication of his and the club's ambitions.
"People talk and have taken notice of the players that we have brought in," he said.
"I've had a couple of chats with people and they have said, 'you've picked up a good couple of lads already'.
"It goes to show that people have their eye on us and are seeing us as a progressive club that is moving forward."
