RENNIE EXTENDS STAY AT LINKS PARK

Montrose FC have extended the contract of Martin Rennie until January, giving the striker a chance to recapture his form following an injury stricken season.

Despite being an ever-present in the Premier Sports Cup group stage back in July, Rennie managed only one league game before being side-lined with a hernia, for which he underwent surgery at the end of November.

After a lengthy and complex recovery, the 28 year old finally took to the field again at the end of April in the Club’s last league game against Alloa Athletic, in what was his 100th appearance for the Gable Endies.

Just a week later, Martin came off the bench to score for the first time since July against Airdrieonians in the Championship Play-off semi-final.

Manager Stewart Petrie said, “Martin had a very tough and frustrating season, so it was an easy decision to offer an extension. We all know what he is capable of and we look forward to seeing him return to that level again.”
