DUNFERMLINE have confirmed that a trio of last season's squad have signed new contracts.

Goalkeeper Lee Robinson, defender Lee Ashcroft and central midfielder James Craigen have agreed to remain at the club next season.

Ashcroft, 24, has penned a two-year deal while Robinson, 31, and Craigen, 27, have signed on for a year.

Boss Allan Johnston confirmed that both Fraser Aird and Nicky Clark - who national newspaper reports have linked with moves to other clubs - have also been offered new contracts.

After the club confirmed earlier this week that Scott Lochhead and Conner Duthie would be leaving the club, Johnston confirmed that Michael Paton has also not been offered a deal for next season.

The Pars manager added that he had spoken to virtually all of his squad ahead of the coming campaign, as well as players he would like to bring in.

We will have more on this story in next week's Press.
