“We last tasted success in 2014 and we want to put that right and bring silverware back to the club. We’re all working hard to do that and I’m really looking forward to the rest of this season and the next.”
Head Coach Justin Holbrook added: “Louie is a very hard-working member of our team who gives us real go-forward.
“He plays and trains with high energy, a lot of enthusiasm and is very competitive, which are all good traits that I really admire about him.
“He sets a great example for the rest of the squad, as well as being a popular member of the side.”
