Darren Mackie has pledged his long-term future to Aberdeen by penning a new three-year contract with the Dons.

The 27-year-old has made almost 300 first-team appearances for the club since making his debut a decade ago.

Boss Jimmy Calderwood is delighted with the news, telling the club's official website: "It's fabulous. I've always said how well he's done during my time here.

"Darren's a wonderful lad to work with. He's Aberdeen through and through and it's great news for the club.

"He's very popular in the dressing room. You know what you're getting with Darren every game and the lad deserves it.

"No one will ever forget his goal against Dnipro which started the whole European run, the highlight of my time here."
