And triple Player of the Year award-winner Pollock, speaking after the final day win over Telford, is keen to see the club push on next season should he be part of it.

He said: “We were comfortably safe in the end and we want to take this form into next season.

"The club’s under-performed this year and we know that Boston’s a massive club and we want to make sure we put ourselves into a position next year where we’re challenging.

"We have everything here to achieve that so it's an exciting time for the club and for sure I want to be part of it.”
