Cambridge United midfielder George Hoddle has secured a new contract that will keep him with the club until the conclusion of the 2027-28 season.
At 20 years old, Hoddle is related to former England manager Glenn Hoddle and has made 12 appearances this season. This includes a loan period with non-league side Bedford Town.
