“I’m very pleased to sign the deal,” says Arundel.
“It gives me a bit of confidence to build on what has been an enjoyable few years at the club.
“I’m looking to push on and challenge for a spot.
“We all push each other. Bill and Reece are both quality players and they got their merits last year with one getting in the Dream Team and the other getting called up to the England squad.
“We all bring a different skill-set and I’m confident in mine when I get the chance.”
