Steven Lawless signs new Partick Thistle contract

Steven Lawless has signed a two-year contract extension with Partick Thistle.

Lawless has made more than 130 appearances for the Scottish Premiership side, 40 of them coming last season, during which he also scored five goals.

"Steven has proved over the last few seasons what a valuable part of the squad he is and I'm delighted he has committed his long term future to us," said Partick manager Alan Archibald.

"It came as no surprise that Steven had offers from other Ladbrokes Premiership clubs and I'm delighted that we were able to keep hold of him."

Last month, Partick captain Abdul Osman agreed a two-year deal with the club and David Amoo signed a one-year contract extension.

It continued a busy summer on the contract front at Firhill, as Archibald and his assistant Scott Paterson have also signed new three-year deals.
