SHANE O’Connor has put pen to paper on a new contract.

Town’s left-back, who broke into the first team ranks last season, has officially signed a new two-year deal that will keep him at the club until 2012.

Town boss Roy Keane is short of full-backs, following the departures of Liam Rosenior and David Wright, but the Irishman is hopeful that the 20-year-old ex-Liverpool Academy player will make the left-back role his own this term.
