The 27 year-old is hungry for game time after sitting out the campaign from January onwards due to injury.

Longbottom has had the required surgery and was edging towards fitness towards the end of the season.

Will arrived at Nethermoor from Bradford (Park Avenue) and finished his first season as the league’s fifth highest scorer.

The forward has scored a variety of goals for the club including free kicks, long range spectaculars and penalty box tap-ins.

Will came through the ranks at Doncaster Rovers and made his senior debut for them before moving to Ireland for a short spell with Waterford. Whilst with Donny Longbottom had loan spells at Kidderminster Harriers, Halesowen and Gainsborough Trinity.

When he moved back to England he signed for Bradford (Park Avenue) before then moving on to Farsley Celtic. Longbottom then returned to the Horsfall Stadium and BPA for the 2023/24 season before making his move to Nethermoor.
