Nigel Boogaard has penned a new one-year deal and the Newcastle Jets captain is ready to lead his hometown team through ā€˜difficult timesā€™.

The 34-year-old has played 104 A-League matches in Jets colours since returning home to the Hunter in 2015 after stints with the Central Coast Mariners and Adelaide United.

Boogaard has experienced a rollercoaster six-season Jets career, going from the ignominy of a wooden spoon in 2016/17 to leading out the Jets in the A-League 2018 Grand Final.

The veteran defenderā€™s focus is to give his all to the embattled clubā€™s cause this season before making any decisions regarding his own future.
