Defender Kyle Willox has signed a contract extension to remain at Banks o’ Dee as he continues his recovery from injury.
The 25-year-old’s new deal will keep him at Spain Park until the summer of 2026.
Willox joined Dee from fellow Breedon Highland League Deveronvale in the summer of 2022 before sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury in pre-season ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.
Since then he has had surgery and is undertaking a recovery programme in a bid to get back on the pitch.
Banks o’ Dee director of football Paul Bain believes it’s important both Willox and the club have security and is looking forward to seeing him come back.
He said: “It’s an important part of our football environment that the club offer the right medical support when players are unfortunately injured while playing.
