Valley top scorer David Kolodynski has signed a contract with the club until May 2016 with the option of a further year extension.
The 26-year-old striker has already netted 15 goals this season including a double in Rugby's 3-1 win over Market Drayton Town at the weekend to extend his record as the club's all-time record goalscorer.
Kolodynski re-joined his hometown club in the summer after a short spell with Kettering Town where he won a Southern League Division One Central Championship medal after joining in November 2014.

After a clinical second spell with Valley which saw 94 goals in just over two full seasons from October 2012, David moved to division rivals Kettering in November 2014 where he went on to win the league title.
David made his name in the 2008/9 season in the Southern League Premier as he finished as the league's top scorer with
26 league
goals, after progressing
through the
youth ranks
at Town making
his debut
as a substitute
towards the
end of the
2005/06 season.
Scoring
on his full
debut in a
2-0 win over
Wealdstone,
David staked
his claims
for a first
team place
in January
2007 with
a run of three
goals in three
games and
ended the
2006/7 with
six league goals
and David
made an impact
mainly from
the bench
again in the
07/08 season.
After
a sustained
chance in
the first
team at the
start of the
08/09 season,
the return
of Tony Dobson
as manager
saw David
return to
goalscoring
form.
Kolo
netted his
first hat-trick
for the club
away to Merthyr
in November
2008 and then
repeated the
feat against
Clevedon Town
in the next
game - a landmark
achievement.
David
struggled
with injury
during a torrid
09/10 season
but still
managed nine
leagues goals
before joining
Cambridge
City in June
2010 which preceeded spells with Hinckley United and Leamington before returning to Rugby in October 2012 from Bedworth United after over two seasons away from Butlin Road.
Kolodynski netted 35 goals in the 2012/3 season on his return and became the club's record Southern League goalscorer in October 2013 before breaking more records in the 2013/4 season tipping over the 100 league goal mark and becoming the club's all-time senior record scorer after with a 39-goal season.
