Men’s under-21s defender Casper Nilsson has signed a new contract that runs until June 2025.

The Sweden under-19 international joined us from Malmo in summer 2020, making the step up to under-21s from our under-18s at the beginning of this season.

The 19-year-old said, “I have had a great two-and-a-half-years with the club so far and I am really happy to be committing my future here.

“I have constantly improved while I am here and have always been guided well by my coaches to help take my game to the next level.”

Under-21s head coach Shannon Ruth added, “Casper has had a good first full six months with the under-21 squad and we’re really pleased with the way he is progressing.

“This contract reflects his positive development and mentality – I am pleased that he has decided to commit his future to the club.”
