The stakes may be incredibly high in Saturday's League Two play-off final, but that has not stopped Port Vale from rewarding Bristol Rovers legend Darrell Clarke with a new five-year contract.
The Vale manager leads his side to Wembley tomorrow, facing his hometown club Mansfield Town with a place in League One on the line, but despite the uncertainty of what division they will be playing in, the Burslem club have secured the services of the Gas icon until 2027.
Clarke has recently returned to the dugout from compassionate leave following a close family bereavement and the 44-year-old – the mastermind of Rovers' promotion triumphs in 2015 and 2016 – led his team to victory over Swindon Town on penalties in the semi-final.
