Ben Worman has signed a new one-year deal with Cambridge with a one-year option, the club have announced.

In 2020-21, the academy product scored his first goal for the club – also against Posh – and spent time on loan at National League outfit Weymouth.

Cambridge also announced full-back Liam Bennett, 19, has signed a first professional contract with the club, another one-year deal with a one-year option.
