Macclesfield Town manager Keith Alexander has hailed Jonny Brain after the goalkeeper penned a new two-year deal with the club.
The Silkmen shot-stopper was sidelined for 12 months after breaking his leg in November 2006, but impressed on his return to action and became the regular first-choice keeper in the second half of the campaign just ended.
Alexander told Macc's official website: "Jon showed a lot of character to come back from a very serious injury, one that could easily have ended his career.
"But he came back stronger and, without wishing to over-dramatise, has had a new lease of life.
"He works hard and clearly is enjoying the game and that showed in his performances in the second half of last season.
"It's great news he's agreed to accept the deal as I know he can get better and I look forward to working with him once again when the lads report back for pre-season training."
