PAUL Hurst is delighted to have Lenell John-Lewis, Aswad Thomas and Paul Bignot back on board for another season.
As reported, Grimsby Town have taken up their option of extending all of the trio's deals for another year.
And – with Shaun Pearson, Ross Hannah and Paddy McLaughlin also contracted – the Mariners boss is pleased to have three more slots in his squad confirmed for the next tilt at promotion.
"They've triggered clauses and I've been really pleased with them all," he said.
"It was Lenny's first full season of being more than an impact sub, and he had been a very good player for us.
"Aswad has had a good couple of years here now, and in the second half at Gateshead showed what an asset he can be.
"And Paul has really improved his performances and showed what a player he can be for us.
"So I'm happy to have those lads with us for another season."
