Former Carlisle United defender Macaulay Gillesphey has extended his stay at League One title-chasers Plymouth Argyle.
The former Blues man will now remain at Home Park until the end of the 2024/25 season.
Gillesphey, who has been with Plymouth since 2020, has made 22 appearances this season for an Argyle side managed by ex-Blues loan man Steven Schumacher.
His two-year extension will see the 27-year-old add to his 69 appearances for the side currently three points clear at the top of League One.
Manager Schumacher told Plymouth's website of the deal: "Since he arrived at the club just over 18 months ago, he [Gillesphey] has been a really consistent performer.

"He is reliable, a good competitor and he has played a vital part in our success over the last season and a half.
Gillesphey joined Plymouth from Australian club Brisbane Roar.
That followed his time at Carlisle which saw two loan spells from Newcastle United followed by a permanent move, between 2015-19.
He made 93 appearances for the Cumbrians, scoring three goals.
