We are delighted to announce that Liam Newton has penned a contract extension until the summer of 2022.

18-year-old Liam was promoted to the first team in the summer after impressing for the Under 20s side last season. He made his debut against Cowdenbeath in the Betfred Cup in October before scoring his first goal against Raith Rovers in the same competition a few days later.

Speaking ahead of yesterday’s match against Peterhead, Manager Darren Young said: “Liam has come in and done very well so this is a testament to how he’s played. We spoke to him during the week to get everything agreed and signed so it’s great for the club and Liam himself.”
