Why Portsmouth given new signing long-term deal

Why Portsmouth handed long-term deal to former Leeds United and Reading man as summer squad work continues

Pompey felt it was necessary to secure Conor Shaughnessy’s future after emerging as a key member of John Mousinho’s squad.

And the Blues boss is adamant fresh terms for the League One title winner were firmly warranted after an outstanding campaign at Fratton Park.

Pompey last night confirmed the central defender has been handed a new three-year agreement, with a club option to extend his stay for a further 12 months.

It’s reward for a rise few anticipated a year ago following his free transfer arrival from Burton Albion.

Yet, the former Leeds and Reading man’s performances soared amid 49 outings, with his calm authority at the back shining along with an ability to pop up with crucial goals.
Now the Irishman is protected as an asset, with his stock at an all-time high at the age of 28.
