DEFENDER Shay Logan has signed a new deal to stay at Aberdeen until 2020.
The 29-year-old former Manchester City trainee joined the Dons from Brentford back in May 2014 following a successful loan spell at Pittodrie.
Logan, though, appeared set to leave Aberdeen at the end of last season and the right-back had been linked with a return south of the border to be closer to his family.
However, Logan, who has made 149 appearances and scored 12 goals, is now looking forward to continuing his stay with Derek McInnes’ men.
“The reason I am staying is because of the way I have been treated by the club and the fans during the time I have been here. I have been looked after very well,” Logan said in an interview with RedTV.
“I am happy to be here, so the new deal was very welcome.
“I am glad the club and the manager have faith in me and that they want me to stick around.”
Dons boss McInnes hopes Logan can remain a firm fans’ favourite.
“It is clear how much he enjoys it here at Pittodrie and how much affection he has for the supporters,” the Aberdeen manager said.
“I am sure the fans would join me in applauding the commitment he has shown.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
