The right-back, who has not missed a league game in two years under Corberan playing in 89 consecutive fixtures, last week signed terms until 2027.

The 28-year-old’s existing deal expired next summer. The head coach reckons it would have been easy for Furlong to find suitors elsewhere. Corberan said: “As a club we are analysing every particular case. It’s different this year to last year, this year we can be proactive because there is a plan in the club and financial stability to go forward with these decisions.
