Pompey £4,900 per week star agrees a new two year deal to extend stay at the club

Captain Marlon Pack has agreed to a new two-year contract with the club, according to The News.

Portsmouth are headed for the Championship, and after their promotion, a big summer transfer market awaits.

Pompey have already declared that they are saying goodbye to a number of crucial first-team players,

but one man has been in talks to keep his club captain, Marlon Pack.

The midfielder has become an important player since returning to his hometown club in 2022,

and after leading the team to the League One title, fans’ concerns have grown as they await confirmation of his position.

However, it appears that Portsmouth is on the verge of a significant improvement.

According to the News, Pompey and Pack have finished negotiations after reaching an agreement on a contract extension.

The 33-year-old is claimed to have signed to a new two-year contract at Fratton Park, keeping him there until the summer of 2026.

Of course, it has yet to be made public, but this update will come as a significant boost for John Mousinho and his team.

It is also stated that Pack is regarded as someone who may easily transition into another role with the club after his playing career is over.

However, a new two-year contract means that day is unlikely to come soon.

A vital agreement

Pack is one of Portsmouth’s most essential players,

so keeping him in the middle of the park will be a great benefit to both Mousinho and his teammates.

The local midfielder is a leader on and off the pitch, frequently yelling commands to his teammates.

His level of experience has been crucial in League One,

and with 269 Championship appearances to his name, it will be equally important there.

He’s been more than just a leader and experienced thinker, though.

Pack has also provided a valuable creative outlet from his deep midfield position,

scoring three goals and assisting nine times in 38 third-tier games during their promotion-winning season.

Raking long balls are critical in stretching opponents and will certainly be a source of threat as they advance to the Championship.

What’s next?

With an agreement achieved on Pack’s arrangement, the hope is that others would follow suit.

Contract options for Joe Morrell and Zak Swanson were not exercised,

but conversations about keeping them both on new terms persisted.

They can both be key assets as the club prepares to return to the Championship,

but it is unclear whether they will stay or leave.
