This was further extended until June 2011 following Wanderers promotion to 'League One' in May 2009. Suffered an injury hit 2009/10 season as Wanderers were relegated back to 'League Two' but fought his way back into the side under another new boss, Gary Waddock, earning another two year contract extension in May 2011 following Wanderers' promotion back to 'League One'.
