Ross County have announced that three of their young stars have signed new contracts to remain at the club.
Matthew Wright, Adam MacKinnon and Logan Ross have all committed their futures to the Staggies, having begun to make an impression at senior level after coming through County's academy.
Wright and MacKinnon have each signed two-year deals, keeping them in Dingwall until the summer of 2024, while Ross' new deal runs to the end of next season.
All three have spent time out on loan in the Highland League this season, with Ross currently at Lossiemouth and Wright and MacKinnon having spent the first half of the campaign at Brora Rangers.
There, Wright was one of the top scorers in the division, finding the net 21 times in 19 matches before returning to County and scoring a memorable 95th minute equaliser against Rangers in the Premiership.
MacKinnon also made his league debut for the Staggies recently, coming off the bench towards the end of their victory over St Johnstone, and manager Malky Mackay believes all three youngsters have bright futures.
“All three of these young players have been tremendous since I have come in," Mackay explained.
"They are really eager and hungry to be successful as well as realistic in what they want to achieve. You would also struggle to find three more mannerly young players which is really pleasing.
“Matty had an incredible moment against Rangers that really showed how big a player he could be for us in the future, and we managed to get Adam on the pitch recently too which is important to let them taste that Premiership environment.
“Logan is another one that has really gone and pushed himself in the Highland League over the past couple of years. He will continue to improve and progress under the guidance of (goalkeeping coach) Scott Thomson over the next period of time and we will look forward to seeing his next steps.”
