Contract Situation and Future Plans
Maguire’s current contract is set to expire at the end of the season. Although he and his family have settled in the northwest of England, negotiations for a new deal have not yet materialized. He expressed a desire to remain at the club, stating,
- “I’ve been here seven years now, so it’s been tough not getting that win.”
