Airdrie striker commits to club with one-year extension

Airdrie player-boss Rhys McCabe has secured the services of striker Gabby McGill for another season.

The Englishman has signed a one-year contract extension at New Broomfield having joined from Dunfermline Athletic last summer.

The 21-year-old made a telling contribution last term under former gaffer Ian Murray.

He scored seven goals in 18 starts and also netted the clincher in a dramatic play-off semi-final win over Montrose, as Airdrie came from 4-1 down in the tie with 20 minutes to go to win 6-5.

It was a campaign hit by injuries, though, and the Yorkshireman is looking forward to a fresh start in this season's League One.

After putting pen to paper, McGill told the Airdrie website: "I really enjoyed my time here last year.

"It was a bit of a bitty season with some injuries and stuff like that, but when I played I’d like to think I did well and I definitely gave everything.

“Overall all I just thoroughly enjoyed last year, so I’m more than happy.”

Player-manager Rhys McCabe added: "I’m delighted to have Gabby back.

"It was a bit of a mismatched season for him with injuries, so hopefully he can build on last season and get a good run of games.”
