St Johnstone captain Dave Mackay has signed a new contract that will keep him at McDiarmid Park until the end of next season.
The 34-year-old former Dundee and Oxford United defender moved to Perth from Livingston in the summer of 2009 and has been a key player for Saints in recent seasons.
St Johnstone manager Tommy Wright told the club website: “It’s great news for us and provides another piece in the jigsaw for next season already.
“Dave is as consistent as ever and although he sees himself moving into central defence eventually, Steven Anderson and Tam Scobbie are doing well at the moment so he might have to bide his time!”
