James McPake has agreed to extend his contract at Dundee. The club captain originally signed in the summer of 2014 and his new deal sees him commit his future to The Dee until 2019. McPake has been hard at work in the gym over the past nine months since suffering a fractured kneecap in January of this year. He returned to the training pitch for the first time for a light session this week with physio Gerry Docherty.

First and foremost, everything the club has done for me since the injury has been different class. From people who run the club, to the manager to the physio. Everybody around the club day in day out have been so supportive. There is nothing which has been too big of a deal, what we needed to do, who we needed to see or what equipment we needed. The club have been great and I am very thankful for that. It’s great to be here for another couple of years and I’m really excited to get back onto the pitch, hopefully soon, and do my bit and repay the faith the club have showed me." |
