Nicky Devlin is “absolutely delighted” to sign a new contract with Aberdeen until 2027.
The right-back, who is currently in Croatia with the Scotland national team for the first time, has become a key player for the Dons, particularly this season under new manager Jimmy Thelin.
“I’ve loved my time at Aberdeen and I am absolutely delighted to be extending my time here,” the 30-year-old told Aberdeen’s website.
“We are really starting to build something positive at the club and I’m looking forward to being part of that.”
Devlin joined from Livingston at the beginning of last season and signed a two-year deal then, but manager Thelin was determined to ensure the services of the “dependable” full-back for longer.
“Nicky is a dependable member of the squad, always the professional, and a leader in the dressing room,” the Swede said.
“He is the type of player we want here and we’re delighted he will remain with us at Pittodrie for the next few years.
“His performances this season have quite righty earned him a call-up to the national squad and we are all so pleased to see him recognised at this level.
“Senior players such as Nicky are so important to helping establish the correct environment at a club, his appetite and desire to success are clear to see and he will remain an integral part of what are building here.”
