Lincoln City have announced that they have extended Dom Jefferies‘ contract, after triggering a clause in his current deal.
The 23-year-old signed for the Imps in the summer of 2024 from Gillingham on a two year deal, with an additional two year option, which has now been triggered. That extension will now see the midfielder stay at the club until the summer of 2028.
Dom has already featured 57 times and has contributed to 7 goals in his first 18 months at Sincil Bank. Since returning from injury this season, he has found himself as a versatile option off the bench.
Sporting director Jez George said: “Dom signed a different type of contract to typical when we found something at his medical before signing him. He has since successfully rehabbed from two major hip surgeries, and it was always our intention to then trigger our option.
“Dom is a crucial player within our squad. He has attributes and behaviours that we really value, he can play in a number of positions but that shouldn’t also detract from the fact that we see him as a potential starter within our team as we saw with his contribution last season.
“Dom is an exceptional character, a real fighter, highly thought of by the coaching staff and has the ability to make a big impact for us in the second half of this season.”
