Goalkeeper Louis Jones signs a new two-year contract with the Iron

Scunthorpe United is delighted to confirm that goalkeeper Louis Jones has penned a new deal with the club that keeps him at the Attis Arena until the end of the 2027-28 campaign.

Coming through the Rovers ranks from the age of 12, Jones made over 50 appearances in all competitions for his boyhood club, with his debut awarded to him by Scunthorpe manager Andy Butler. With several loans helping to further his development over the years, Jones would depart Doncaster in January 2025 to join Dagenham & Redbridge on a short-term deal, where he quickly became the starting goalkeeper for the Daggers until a hamstring injury brought his season to an end.

After originally training with United last pre-season before the unfortunate recurrence of his previous injury, Jones would have to wait until December to join the club permanently to provide competition for Leeds United loanee Rory Mahady.

Upon his official arrival, Jones would have to wait for his opportunity between the Scunthorpe sticks; however, when the chance was finally awarded to him in late February, the 27-year-old would establish himself as United's first-choice goalkeeper for the remainder of the season, more than warranting his new contract in the 16 appearances he made by keeping five clean sheets in that time and making some memorable match winning saves.

Well done, Lou!
