The 32-year-old agreed to extend his stay at Dingwall after joining the Staggies in 2018.

During his time at the club, he helped County get promoted back to the Premiership in 2019, the same season as they won the Challenge Cup.

Watson was given the captain's armband this season by manager Malky Mackay who was delighted to retain his services.

“Keith is a top professional that every manager loves to have at their club.

"He has a fantastic attitude, he is a good communicator and a leader which our young players really feed off.

"As well as that Keith now has over 100 appearances for Ross County and he knows exactly what Ross County is and what it means to represent this club, so it’s great to have somebody like him here when you are integrating new players who can seek advice from him.”

“Keith has been a fantastic servant to Ross County and has brought success to the club over his four years here with promotion to the Premiership and the Challenge Cup victory, so we are delighted that he has extended his stay with us."
