Wycombe Wanderers captain Joe Jacobson has signed a new one-year contract extension with the club.
The 36-year-old left-back triggered the improved deal after reaching playing a certain amount of games for the Chairboys this season.
This now means the Welshman will receive a testimonial which is due to be played in the summer of 2024 – 10 years after he initially joined the club.
Brilliant news for the club and for Jacobson.
