On his new deal, Fleming said: “I just can’t wait to get back out there with the lads again and hopefully go even further next year.
“The feeling around the club this year has excited me to be honest. It’s a great feeling to have such amazing support from the fans this year and it feels like the club is really building into something special.
“After making the playoffs this year I think it’s just made everyone hungrier to go even further next season.”
Head Coach Allan Coleman said: “It’s great to keep Matt. He missed a few games in the first half of the season but then when we got him back, you could see how much he improved the team.
“He’s a natural athlete, he’s tough and aggressive. He’s the epitome of a modern-day centre. He complements our team really well, so I’m over the moon to retain him.”
