Chipping in with some vital goals, as well as leading by example, Jackson has been a model professional for the Northolme based side adding an assuredness and balance to the defence and unrivalled energy as he bombs up and down the left flank, supporting the attack and covering at the back. Jackson's all-action displays typify his personality, on and off the pitch.

When challenged to reflect upon the season just finished, it was easy to see why Ash had no doubt about signing for another campaign, "It's been a fantastic season - and to just miss out again - so closely at the end in terms of the league, play-offs. Realistically, with the cup runs we've had in the FA Trophy and FA Cups, the lads have been absolutely incredible!"

Alongside the cup runs and stresses and strains of the season, Jackson admits, "The demands of the season have been immense and all the lads have stepped up to meet them. Every player, staff member and person behind the scenes at the club deserve a massive congratulations. It's definitely been one of the most physically demanding season of my career -but definitely the most enjoyable!"

"For me, my highlights are when we beat the teams in the higher divisions and in many cases convincingly as well. There's nothing I love more than being the underdog and grafting out results. We've definitely got to be looking to go one better and get into the play-offs and be a big threat. It would be amazing if we could get promotion. It's about building on the quality that we've got and taking it to the next level. I am sure all the lads will be enjoying their rest, so they are refreshed and ready to go when pre-season starts- I can't wait to get started again!"

Manager, Russ Wilcox was pleased to have secured the experienced full back for another season. One of the first signings Wilcox made, when taking over at the helm, Jackson was described as, "Someone who always conducts himself in a professional manner - and demands high standards by leading by example. He is positive and good to be around. I am really pleased that Jacko has agreed to stay for another season. It is not just what he gives the team on the pitch, which is always 100% commitment. It's the example he sets off it."
