Assistant manager Andrew Brown said: “We are delighted that Sam is extending his stay with us.

I could think of no better man to lead this side as we look to build on last season’s success.”

Adams played 41 times and scored 10 goals as Hastings finished third in the Bostik League South East Division during the 2018/19 campaign.

In all he has made 524 appearances for the club and netted 132 times, and is considered something of a club legend for his loyalty, work ethic and ability.

Hastings manager Chris Agutter hailed Adams the best player to have played for the club in his lifetime ahead of his 500th appearance, against Whitstable Town, last November.
