Francois Zoko signs new Stevenage deal

Experienced striker Francois Zoko signs a new six-month contract with Stevenage.

Experienced striker Francois Zoko has signed a new six-month contract with Stevenage.

The 30-year-old, who arrived at the club on a free transfer in October, has scored 12 goals in 19 appearances in all competitions this season.

His previous deal was due to expire this month, but the Ivorian will now spend the remainder of the campaign with Boro.

Chairman Phil Wallace, who also revealed that the club had rejected offers for in-demand youngster Luke Freeman, told the club's official website: "We are delighted to have retained Francois and to be able to turn down bids for Luke which we feel do not accurately reflect his talent.

"The recent FA Cup success has provided some additional finances which, while going nowhere near to addressing the financial shortfall of 2013, have certainly helped us make these footballing decisions."

A number of Football League clubs were believed to be monitoring developments with Zoko.
