Brady signs new deal at Cambridge

Jon Brady has signed a deal with Cambridge United that will keep him there until the end of next season.

The 31 year-old moved from Hereford to Cambridge several months ago after finding life tough at Edgar Street.

Cambridge manager, Rob Newman, told his official website about how pleased he was to retain Brady.

Brady joined the U's on a free transfer on a free transfer from Hereford United on 5th January 2006, and the 31-year-old Australian right-sided midfielder has previously won promotion from the Conference with both Rushden and Diamonds and Chester City.

Like former Rushden team-mate Ritchie Hanlon, Brady has now signed a new contract for next season and Rob Newman was delighted.

"He's been with championship winning sides in the Conference before so he brings us that experience, plus he has great energy and work ethic and commitment to the cause.

"He's been in the Conference before and knows what it's all about and he knows what it takes to win this league, which is great to have in your team and can only help us.

"As a manager you try to create a good work environment so that people can come in and work hard but have a smile on their face too, and people like Ritchie and 'Brades' contribute to that."

Brady set up an equalising goal in a play-off semi-final last May but was released at the end of the season when Stevenage signed Hereford's Danny Williams.

Brady made the opposite move to Hereford in the summer and was a regular in their squad, but travelling from Northamptonshire to Hereford for training proved to be a problem and in January he joined United for the rest of the season.
