Ellender played for Boston in the Football League

Boston United have awarded long-serving former defender Paul Ellender a testimonial match.

Ellender, 33, joined the Pilgrims in 2001 and made 275 appearances before moving to Alfreton Town at the end of last season.

Chairman David Newton told the club's website: "Paul gave Boston United terrific and loyal service and this is our way of rewarding him for that."

The match will be played at York Street early in the new season.
