The club said: "The foundations are being laid.

"The ambition is clear.

"And we're building for the future, together."

They said that securing the management team is vital to providing leadership and continuity as the club enters what it called an "exciting new chapter."

The board also emphasised that while progress has been made, the club remains ambitious and believes the current groundwork will lead to further success in the years ahead.
