Chief executive Jonathan Vaughan said: "It has always been Mark’s plan to make sure the money he put into the club was gifted and did not want to burden the club with long-term loans.

"This puts the club in a strong financial position and for this, we are very grateful. His investment both on and off the pitch has been vital to securing promotion to League 2 and we hope to capitalise on this momentum as we look to climb the leagues."
