Captain Pack signs new Pompey deal

Portsmouth captain Marlon Pack has signed a new two-year deal at Fratton Park.

The 33-year-old made 39 appearances last season as he led Portsmouth to promotion back to the second tier of English football for the first time in 12 years.

He was named their player of the year and made the League One team of the season.

"It was so important for us to get this deal done," said Blues boss John Mousinho.

"He lifted the League One trophy as captain and produced some strong performances in what was such a successful season for us.

“Marlon is a vital part of what we're trying to achieve moving forward in the Championship and so we're delighted that he's staying at the club."

Pack graduated from Pompey's academy before spells at Cheltenham, Bristol City and Cardiff.

To date, he has made 78 appearances in Portsmouth blue, netting eight goals and next season will captain his boyhood side in the Championship.
