Aberdeen winger Jonny Hayes has signed a one-year contract extension tying him to the club until the end of the 2023/24 season.

The 35-year-old’s current deal was set to expire at the end of this campaign but he has committed to another season.

Hayes is confident the Dons, on a six game winning run, can achieve success next season – and wants to be part of it.

The Republic of Ireland international insists he is as fit as ever despite being 35.

“The staff are working really hard behind the scenes, and I do believe if we keep moving in the right direction we can achieve a lot together.

“Every game is important, the expectation to win games is always there at Aberdeen.

“The players really believe that, and they want to deliver success for the supporters.

“From a personal point of view I still feel as good as I have for the last few years so I’m happy to secure another year at the club.”
