Chester FC winger Craig Mahon has confirmed his desire to sign a new contract with the club but says there are still a few issues to be ironed out.
Dublin-born Mahon has been one of this season’s most consistent performers, building on an encouraging 2013-14 campaign.
He has scored seven goals in 46 appearances this term and starred in the FA Cup second round clash with Barnsley at Oakwell.
The Chronicle understands the 25-year-old, who ex-manager Neil Young signed from Vauxhall Motors, has been offered a two-year contract but would like a slight improvement in the terms.
He has aspirations to play in the Football League but the popular wideman, who came through the ranks at Wigan Athletic, believes he can fulfil those with the Blues.
“I love the club and I love the fans, and I love playing for Chester,” he told the club’s official website.
“I’m looking forward to making some more history next season if I get the opportunity.
“I obviously want to be here next season and I just need to sort some things out with the gaffer, hopefully we can get it sorted.
“I’ve had a great season, playing in the FA Cup and playing against some top teams. It’s been an amazing experience and I just want to continue with it.
“I’d love to play in the Football League and if I could do that with Chester, that would be even better.
“As a player, you always want to play as high as your ability lets you to go.”
