Accrington striker Terry Gornell has signed a new two-year contract with the club.
After returning to the Crown Ground from Cheltenham in February for a second spell with Stanley and helping them reach the Sky Bet League Two play-offs, the 26-year-old will now remain at Accrington until the summer of 2018.
"Terry struggled with injuries last season but we hope he can make a big impact this season," Stanley boss John Coleman told the club's official website.
Gornell started his career at Tranmere and has also had spells at Shrewsbury and Rochdale.
Meanwhile, Stanley have signed former Burnley midfielder Steven Hewitt on a one-year deal.

The 22-year-old made just three appearances in four years at Turf Moor and had loan spells at Alfreton and Chester. He finished last season at Vanarama National League side Southport after his contract with Burnley was cancelled by mutual consent last December.
Hewitt told www.accringtonstanley.co.uk: "I was at Burnley as a scholar and then I signed a two-and-a-half year professional deal.
"It's a big season for me as I am 22 and want to play regularly and hopefully I can do that with Accrington. It is nice to be sorted and signed up and I can't wait to get going."
