SHEFFIELD owner Neil Machin insists he wants to keep skipper Andre Compton at the club next season.

The Owlerton side already have Ricky Ashworth penciled in after he completed a two-year deal last winter and Compton is expected to hold talks over a new deal soon.

Said Machin: “Andre is a great professional and he is in my opinion one of the most consistent performers since the league was launched a decade ago.”
