Crewe Defender Billington latest to agree new deal

Crewe Alexandra defender Lewis Billington has signed a new three-year contract with the League Two club.

Billington, 22, has been with the Railwaymen since he was six years old and has made more than 100 appearances for the first team.

He had been considering the club’s offer of a new deal since the end of last season but will now stay on at the Mornflake Stadium into a sixth senior season.

Billington joins strikers Adrien Thibaut, Josh March and Fin Roberts and midfielders Luca Moore and Conor Thomas in signing new deals with Crewe this summer.
