Truro City defender Will Dean has signed a new contract with the newly-promoted National League side.
The 24-year-old, who moved to the Tinners in 2021 after being released by Exeter City, has agreed a full-time deal with the club.
He has been part of two promotion-winning sides, having also helping the club go up via the Southern Premier South play-offs in 2023.
Dean was a key member of the side that won the National League South title last season, making 41 appearances and scoring four goals, including the opener in a vital 2-1 win over Worthing.
"I love my football here and I play my best football here," Dean told the club website.
"You couldn't write it because at the start of the season everyone had us down and out. But somehow, we produced magical things on the pitch because we are a tight group that works hard for each other.
"At the end of the day, that's what has given us success and we pride ourselves on hard work.
"We run hard, compete and do the basics of football quite well. If you have those fundamentals, along with quality throughout the ranks, it is a good match."
Truro City full-back Tyler Love-Holmes has signed a new full-time contract at the National League side.
The 20-year-old made 20 appearances for the Tinners last season having joined in July from Saltash United after a successful trial.
The former Plymouth Argyle academy player is the second Truro player to sign new terms this week after Will Dean agreed a new contract on Tuesday.
“My dream has always been to test myself as much as possible and this has been my dream for ages, to go full-time,” Love-Holmes told the club website.
“Next season you will see a different side to me because I will always want to be out on the pitch.
"Going full-time will be a lot easier for some of the players because there were times last season when we would get back late from games, then have to go to work and then training.
"That will tire anyone out before you think about away trips on Tuesday nights. It doesn't help the cause, but now we will be able to get our bearings in a professional environment."
