Airdrie captain commits to Diamonds as he signs contract extension

Airdrie captain Adam Frizzell has penned a new contract at the club to extend his stay in Monklands.

The midfielder lifted the SPFL Trust Trophy with the Diamonds last season and also led them to the Championship play-offs, where Airdrie fell to Partick Thistle in the quarter-finals.

And he is back for more after agreeing a contract extension that will take him into his fourth season with the club and second as skipper.

He told the club website: “I’m glad to get it sorted - I enjoyed my holidays and now I’m looking forward to getting back to normal!

“I relished the responsibility of being club captain last year, and was pleased that we could deliver the first trophy in a wee while for the supporters.

“It was a successful season and I really feel we can go and build on that next season. I’m looking forward to meeting some exciting new signings and getting going again!”

Manager Rhys McCabe said: “We’re delighted, Adam’s a huge player for us. His performances last year earned him a place in the team of the year, so to get his signature secured is pleasing. From a personal point of view, I’ve worked alongside him for a few years now, and I know what he brings both on the pitch and off it, so I’m delighted.”
