SPL new boys Hamilton Academical have agreed a further 12-month loan deal to keep Czech goalkeeper Tomas Cerny at the club next season.

Accies had hoped to land Cerny on a permanent basis from Sigma Olomouc, but could not afford the asking price for the 23-year-old.

He will battle it out with new arrival Sean Murdoch for a starting spot at New Douglas Park.

Manager Billy Reid told the Hamilton Advertiser: "We've agreed to take Tomas Cerny on loan again for another year.

"We tried to make Tomas our player, but Sigma Olomouc were asking for too much money.

"I'm happy with the goalkeeping situation at the club though, because we've also brought in Sean Murdoch and I'm delighted to get Tomas back."

Reid has also brought Mark Corcoran back to the club from St Mirren and has snapped up former Dundee striker Derek Lyle, as he prepares for life in the top-flight.
