The defender has penned a two-year deal at the Crown Oil Arena, following his departure from MK Dons in the summer.<\/p>\n
Maguire, who has made over 80 League Two appearances throughout his career, says he is excited to get down to business.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been going on for quite a few weeks, maybe even months, so I\u2019m delighted to be here,\u201d he commented.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know quite a lot about the Club, and as soon as Ian came in, I knew this was the place I wanted to be. The chats have been really good, really positive, and it\u2019s time for me to get down to business.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a great group of lads here, and the staff have been brilliant.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a club that\u2019s on the up, and we want to have another good year back in the EFL. I\u2019ve been in this league a few years now, and it\u2019s a tough one, but we\u2019ll definitely be ready for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Head Coach Ian Watson added:<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m delighted to get Laurence\u2019s deal over the line. He\u2019s someone I\u2019ve worked with previously and is a winner, having been promoted from League Two twice.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis mentality is second to none, he helps to drive the group and is an amazing person.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has a lot of qualities on the pitch that we require. Laurence will be a real strong signing for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Maguire began his career with Chesterfield, captaining the Youth Team before signing his professional contract in 2015.<\/p>\n
During nine years with the Spireites, the now 29-year-old made over 170 appearances across League One, Two and the National League.<\/p>\n
He had a short loan spell at AFC Fylde in 2017, before a season-long stint at Crawley Town in 2023\/24.<\/p>\n
In the summer of 2024, Maguire signed a two-year deal at League Two side MK Dons, playing a part in their promotion-winning campaign to League One last season.<\/p>\n
He is the younger brother of Manchester United defender and England international, Harry.<\/p>\n
