Wycombe Wanderers have confirmed that right-wing back Jasper Pattenden has penned a new deal with the club.

The 21-year-old, who has featured in 14 competitive fixtures for the Chairboys this season, broke through into the first team back in September following an injury crisis along the right-hand side of the defence.

He has since started eight games in the league this campaign but hasn’t played in the division since the 1-0 away loss against Barnsley in November.

The ex-Worthing man suffered a hamstring in the 2-0 home loss to Morecambe in the FA Cup and has only played one game since.

Despite this, his attitude and determination have been noticed by the Wycombe hierarchy, who have offered Pattenden a new deal.

Manager Matt Bloomfield said: "Jasper had to be patient for his chance, but he grabbed it when it came before he picked up an unfortunate injury.

“He's got great energy about him, and I love the way he conducts himself.

“He was the first to congratulate the boys after the win on Tuesday even though he hadn't been involved.

"We've got high hopes for him and we're delighted he's committed himself here.

"We're proud of the development programme.

“Pete Couhig put a lot of hard work into it to get it up and running and it gives guys like Jasper the chance to step up from non-league. It's been a real success story for this club."

Pattenden penned his new deal ahead of kick-off at Tuesday night's league encounter against Cheltenham Town, which the Chairboys won 2-0.
