Daws guided Scunthorpe to a fifth-place finish in League One and the playoff semi-finals last season, before they were eliminated by Rotherham United.

The coach's assistant Andy Dawson has also signed a permanent contract with the club.

Daws also had a stint as the Iron's caretaker manager between January 2016 and March of that year.
