Kyle Lafferty has signed a one-year contract extension with Johnstone Burgh as the striker admits it could be his last hurrah in professional football. The former Rangers and Northern Ireland forward has extended his stay at Keanie Park for a third season after pitching up at the club in 2023. The 37-year-old is one of seven players who have signed a new deal with the Junior Cup winners. Lafferty scored the winning spot-kick in a penalty shoot-out with Tranent at Broadwood Stadium earlier this month. Speaking prior to the deal being announced, Lafferty said he would love one more season on the pitch and to help Burgh not only win the West of Scotland League Premier Division but also get promoted to the Lowland League. He said: “I would like to be [at Burgh next season]. I know I am getting on and, if I am here next year, it will probably be my last season. I would like to go out leaving the club in the Lowland League.” However, it won’t be the last of the footballing action if the Northern Irishman does call it quits on his playing career in 2026 as he says he has ambitions to go into the coaching side of the game. It is an area he has already explored having set up his own coaching business called Kyle Lafferty Soccer Academy. He said: “Even after I hang up my boots, I would like to stay on as a coach at the club. “It is something I have looked at. I have my own soccer academy as well so I think I can pass on my experience and hopefully bring the young lads on because I think we don’t have a lot of lads from the 21s coming through. Hopefully that will be a side I can look after.” Also signing on at Keanie Park for another year is Max Kerr, Darren Christie, Craig Menzies, Malky McDonald and Aaron Mason. Hero keeper Luke Scullion extended his deal until 2028. Still under contract at the club is Calum Law, Cammy Eadie, Danny O’Neill, Kian Gilday, skipper Derek Esplin, Noah Young, Blair Rossiter, Allan MacKenzie, Ross Smith, Aidan Gilmartin and Ciaran Diver. A number of players, however, are moving on. Those heading for pastures new are Jason Naismith, Connor McGlinchey, Fraser Mullen, Gary McCann, Alan Cook and Stuart McCann. Midfielder Ross Davidson returns to SPFL League Two outfit Stirling Albion after his loan expired. The club said in a statement: “Johnstone Burgh would like to thank the departing players for their time and effort at the club and wish them the very best for their new ventures.” Don't miss the latest Renfrewshire headlines – you can sign up to our free daily newsletter here
