Malta Under-21 international Jake Grech will be staying with newly-promoted Premier League side Hamrun Spartans after signing a five-year deal.
Grech, who was also attracting the interest of other clubs, has been playing regularly for the Spartans in the past three years in the First and Secodn Division.
The Spartans had earlier extended the contracts of Philip Chircop and Mark Borg and secured the services of Daren Falzon on loan from Naxxar.
