Ross County forward Alex Schalk has penned a new one-year deal with the club following an impressive first season in Scotland.

The Dutch forward had been linked with a move away, but the Highland outfit announced the 23-year-old had signed a new contract to stay at Dingwall until the summer of 2017.

Schalk, who joined County in October, scored the dramatic last-minute winning goal in their 2-1 victory over Hibernian in the League Cup final to hand them their first major success.
