Needham Market have signed forward Liam Pearce to a contract until the end of the 2027/28 season, with the option of an additional year.
Pearce arrived at Bloomfields in the summer and is the club's top scorer with twelve goals in all competitions, seven of them in the league. He scored a hat-trick away to Bury Town last month, alongside three braces, a solitary strike and a number of assists.
Manager Tom Rothery said: "He's been such a positive signing on and off the pitch and the adaptation and form that he's shown warrant this stability for him and the club. I think Liam will go on to play at a higher level, hopefully with the club."
Pearce said: "It feels brilliant to have signed a contract here at Needham. It's a top club and somewhere I have really enjoyed playing so am very excited."
Needham are unbeaten in three games in all competitions, having drawn 1-1 at home to Leighton Town on Tuesday 27 October, drawn 3-3 away to Redditch United on Saturday 31 October and beaten Stourbridge 4-1 at home on Saturday 7 November. They face Banbury United at Bloomfields, with a 3pm kick-off.
