WE are delighted to announce central defender Lewis Baines has agreed a contract extension with the Robins.

After joining from Chorley in the summer of 2022, Lewis has been a mainstay in Altrincham’s backline, playing a pivotal role in the Robins’ progression up the Vanarama National League table.

"I'm really happy to have signed a new deal. It's really exciting times for the club, we're heading firmly in the right direction and I'm buzzing to be part of it" - Lewis Baines 

The 25-year-old has made 55 league appearances so far in his Alty career, scoring four goals – including most recently against Barnet on January 5.

"I'm delighted Lewis has decided to extend his contract with us. He's been a huge part in helping us transition from a part-time to full-time club and like the majority of the players we recruit he's young, hungry and shares the club's ambitions to ultimately play in the EFL" - Phil Parkinson

Many thanks to Alan Ryan and Holmes & Watson for sponsoring Lewis this season.
