What happened: Crewe Alexandra striker Josh March has signed a one-year contract extension, formalizing his commitment to the club through the 2027-28 season. The 29-year-old forward was a fixture in the Railwaymen lineup last season and remains a central part of the team's offensive plans.

Why it matters: March proved to be a vital asset in the 2025-26 campaign, finishing as the club's top league goalscorer with 11 goals. His retention provides critical continuity for an attack looking to improve upon a 10th-place finish and challenge for a League Two playoff spot in the upcoming season.

What to watch: March will join the squad for pre-season training as Crewe prepares for its 2026-27 league opener.
