Livingston midfielder Scott Pittman has signed a new long-term deal with the Lions that will take him into a testimonial season.
The 30-year-old broke the club's all-time appearance record earlier this season and current sits on 318 games played since arriving from Bo'ness United in February 2015.
And he's set to tally up a whole lot more after putting pen to paper on a new deal that will keep him at the Tony Macaroni Arena until the end of the 2025/26 season. That will also see him become just the second Livingston player to be awarded a testimonial.
Speaking to the club's official website, Livi boss David Martindale said: "I’m absolutely delighted to get this over the line!
“Pitts has been incredible over the years for myself and the club and deserves every accolade that comes his way. He is the all time record appearance holder and holds the club record for the most Premiership appearances. He is only going to increase those numbers over the term of the next 3 and a half seasons.
“A true legend who has been very low maintenance over the years but has given so much on and off the park to the club.
“It’s been a privilege being a part of his journey and it’s been a privilege watching him organically grow with the club season-by-season. If I am being really honest, I’m surprised that he has remained at Livingston for so long as it was always in the back of my mind that he would be away to one of the bigger clubs in Scotland or possibly elsewhere – that’s how highly I rate him as a player.
“A huge thank you to Scott for committing his future to the club and hopefully we can all go on and enjoy more success on the park together.”
Pittman added: "There was never really much doubt in my mind when the manager spoke to me about the new contract. I’ve loved my time here so far and haven’t ever really thought about myself playing anywhere else.
“I’m a local boy myself and my family are local too so it’s great to have represented the club so long already and I’m happy to know that I’ll be continuing that for the next 3 years too.
“I was really proud to break the club appearance record earlier this season and hopefully there will be lots more success to come over how ever many appearances I make in the next three and a half seasons too.
“A big thank you to the club and the manager for their support and I’m looking forward to kicking on again from here and aiming for more positive and successful times with Livingston in the coming years.”
