Baggott Signs New Deal
Friday, 22nd Aug 2025 13:38

Town central defender Elkan Baggott has signed a new deal which runs to the summer of 2028.

The 22-year-old has made six starts and one senior appearance for the Blues, scoring one goal.

The Indonesia international has spent time on loan at King’s Lynn, Gillingham, Cheltenham, Bristol Rovers and last season Blackpool, and looks set to be sent out for another spell again this season.

The Bangkok-born, Colchester-raised centre-half was previously contracted to this summer but with the deal having an option for an additional year.

ArnieM added 17:31 - Aug 22 The stars are starting to align re Towns defensive pool. Quality is gradually replacing bang average, and its been a long time coming. If we get this South American defender in well have, Greaves, Kipre, O'Shea, and the Uruguayian (hopefully) and Baggott.... id say that looks a lot stronger than just 24 months ago.. .

I wonder if a rethink of our playing style might be advisable in the short term. Two players have been recently signed with little pre season training so might a back five away from home work. My thinking is that one or more of the back five could have licence to go forward- John Wark like- to supply support to the overworked and under supported Hurst. So a back five of Young/ O Shea/ Kipre/ Greaves and Davis with both full backs having the option of leaving their defensive duties to support the attack. Preston are liable to play to their height advantage so an extra height would assist especially Davis who can struggle at the back post.
