Aberdeen striker David Goodwillie has signed a new deal that will keep him at Pittodrie until the end of next season.

Goodwillie has been a regular in the side since November, since when Aberdeen's form has been enough to lift them to the top of the Scottish Premiership, albeit having played more games than champions Celtic.

He has scored two goals in his last four outings and is delighted to have secured his future.

"I've really enjoyed my experience so far at Aberdeen and have particularly enjoyed working closely with the manager and Tony," Goodwillie said.

"They are a great bunch of players here, alongside brilliant staff, who are all working towards delivering success for the fantastic supporters.

"It's a huge club, moving in the right direction under the vision of the manager, and I wanted to remain part of that as I feel something special can happen with this team."

Boss Derek McInnes added: "We knew David would take time to get his game up to speed due to the timing of his arrival at the club but now he has established himself his value to the team, both on and off the park, is immense and I'm delighted he has decided his future remains with us at Aberdeen."

Meanwhile, it has been revealed that Aberdeen have sold out their ticket allocation for Friday night’s game at McDiarmid Park. Almost 2,900 fans are expected to make the 174 mile round-trip down the A90 to Perth.
