Brad Lyons has extended his contract at Kilmarnock by two years after helping the team avoid relegation.
The Northern Ireland midfielder, who made 15 crucial Premiership games last season, scored in the decisive 3-1 victory against Ross County on the last day of the season after being inserted into the lineup for the preceding day's equally significant 3-0 victory over Dundee United.
It was simple for the 26-year-old former player for Coleraine, Blackburn, St. Mirren, and Morecambe to re-sign, he said on the Killie website.I believe I came into my own toward the conclusion of the campaign, therefore I'm thrilled the club extended an offer to me for a new contract. I should aim to be more consistent with my playing levels, the manager told me.
They are a part of a team reconstruction after numerous players with expired contracts left.
I prefer to start with a blank canvas. I have the chance to sign the players we want, said Docherty.
"I've been at clubs where you inherit a squad you know you don't want but are told you have to work with," the author said.I therefore view this as a tremendous opportunity and am quite optimistic about it. The people I bring in will enhance what we already have.
With the resources I have, I simply want to have a team that the supporters can relate to and truly support.
The 52-year-old took over for Gary Bowyer when the first-year manager unexpectedly left his position five days after guiding his team to the Championship title.
Docherty, who ended his long collaboration with Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes and is now in his first managerial position, is happy with his early hiring.
Tiffoney scored 12 goals in 35 games for the defeated Premiership play-off finalists last season after relocating to Firhill from Livingston two years ago.
His arrival comes following that of 30-year-old Irish defender Shaughnessy, who turned down a new contract offer from St Mirren, for whom he appeared 28 times last season.
