Captain Extends his stay at County

Ross County Club Captain Richard Brittain has agreed terms which will extend his stay at Victoria Park until summer 2013.

The midfielder has been an integral part of the Staggies side since arriving in June 2008, and as Captain has led by example with his exceptional technical skill coupled with passion and commitment helping to set the tone for the team and indeed Club as a whole.

For Manager Derek Adams Richard's signature is the perfect end to a week which has seen seven of the First Division Title winning squad sign on for the coming season, "Richard is a player I've known well for a long time, as I played with him at Livingston when he was just starting his career. Knowing his temperament and ability I was delighted that we were able to bring him to Victoria Park and since then he has been a fantastic asset to the Club in his 4 seasons with Ross County. He and his team-mates have been responsible for gaining Ross County national and international recognition thanks to their performances on the pitch, and it is therefore fitting that Richard will continue to lead the team on and off the pitch as we face the greatest challenge in the Club's history."

Ginger Pele Stays For Another Year

Scott Boyd is the latest player to commit to Ross County for their first ever season in the SPL, the 25 year old defender has agreed a new 1 year contract with Ross County.

During the five seasons at County, Scott Boyd has made 151 appearances for Ross County, scoring ten goals in the process.

Manager Derek Adams commented, "Scott arrived at the Club as a very promising young player, and during his time here he has developed and improved. In fulfilling that potential he has been an integral part of the Club's successes on the pitch during the most successful period in the Club's long history. The focus for every player in football has to be the challenge that lies ahead, and having helped us to both the Second and First Division titles Scott is exactly the type of player that I want to have in my team as we take on the challenge of the SPL."


Most of last season's squad have already agreed to return to Victoria Park for next season, however five of the squad have yet to agree terms - these being defenders Scott Morrison and Gary Miller along with midfielders Richard Brittain, Iain Vigurs and Paul Lawson.

Versatile forward Steven and shot-stopper Michael both have SPL experience, something which Derek has highlighted as a big plus for the Club, “I’m delighted that both Steven and Michael have put pen to paper. The Club as a whole faces a major challenge with the move from the First Division to the SPL. Quite apart from having played a major part in taking Ross County there, both Steven and Michael have already proved that they have what it takes to compete and succeed on the pitch at the very highest level and that experience will undoubtedly be an asset to us.”
