We are pleased to announce that midfielder Paul McKay has agreed a deal to extend his Airdrie contract.

The 23-year-old featured 31 times for the Diamonds after signing from Cardiff City last summer, scoring four goals and impressing with his drive and energy.

Putting pen to paper on a one-year extension, Paul told airdriefc.com: “I’ve really enjoyed my time at the club so far, they’re a good group of lads.

“It’s a great club with a lot of great people around the place - Stuart Millar, the gaffer and physio John McMenemy to name just three.

“I’m delighted to be staying for another season, and I’m looking forward to working with everyone again.”

Director of Football Stuart Millar added: “We’re delighted to extend Paul’s contract as he came up from England last summer having never played in Scottish football and soon became a first-team regular.

“Paul made a huge contribution to our season, finishing up as our top-scoring midfielder and weighing in with a number of assists.

“Not only are we keeping an important player at the club, but it gives us more continuity after having made a lot of changes last summer.”
