Ross County manager Malky Mackay declared his delight after “leader” Connor Randall signed a new two-year deal with the club.
The 26-year-old former Liverpool defender is nearing the end of his second season with the Staggies after joining in 2020. After establishing himself as a key player under Mackay, he has now pledged his future to the cinch Premiership club until the summer of 2024.
“Connor has been very consistent for our club this season,” Mackay told the County website.
“We have, at times, had to ask him to play on the left as well as the right and he always gives us that 100 per cent effort wherever he plays which is great testament to him.
“It is important that we, as a club, recognise and reward individuals like Connor, who is one of our leaders in the dressing room, and part of a group that keeps pushing themselves and the football club to strive to be at the best standards. We are delighted he has re-signed with us for another two years.”
County midfielder Ben Paton has extended his contract until the summer of 2023. The 21-year-old has made nine appearances since moving to Dingwall at the start of the season.
“Ben has shown a tremendous attitude for such a young man,” added Mackay. “His versatility has been a real bonus this season, he still has lots to learn, and he is growing in confidence every week. There is no doubting the work ethic and determination he has and there are certainly big opportunities ahead for him.”
