Falkirk have announced that club captain Coll Donaldson has signed a new one-year contract extension, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2027 at least, with the option of another year.
Donaldson has been at the club since 2022 and was manager John McGlynn's second signing. He's since made 116 appearances for the Bairns but has suffered injury problems in recent seasons.
A groin injury ruled him out of the first half of the season but he's been back in action this month and looking forward to enjoying Premiership football.
"I'm over the moon, "Donaldson told the club website. "Everyone wanted this deal so it was a straightforward process. I feel grateful to the manager who's shown me so much support, as has everyone around the club. It's a tight knit group here and that helps a lot.
"I'll stay here as log as possible, I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Nobody thought in their wildest dreams a few years ago that we'd be top six in the Premiership now. This season I've mostly been a spectator but I'm looking to end the season on a high. I'm delighted today. It's a really good moment for me."
McGlynn welcomed the news and said Donaldson was now fully fit and could show his value again.
"It's very good to get this done," the manager said. "We never really fall asleep at the wheel and we're always looking to extend and obviously bring in new players when the time is right.
"We have a number of contracts on the table for a few players right now, and we're delighted to get Coll extended.
"He's our club captain, even when he's not been playing, he's done a great job off the pitch and that's important as well.
"It's about security for him, and he can now go out enjoy the rest of the season.
"We're in a very good place, he's got a big part to play in it, and it's very much over to Coll"
