New Saints head coach Paul Wellens said: “For Iggy to decide that he wants to stay here at the club for even longer just shows how well he’s fitted in here and settled down.

“He’s a massive player for us, he’s one of the most destructive ball carriers in the competition, he has a great offload game and brings a physicality to the team with how he goes about his defensive work.

“It will be great to see him continue to help us push for more trophies.”
