The 27-year-old, who has scored 59 goals in 279 appearances for the Dons, has been at the club for his whole 10-year career aside from a brief loan spell at Inverness Caledonian Thistle.Jimmy Calderwood revealed the vital goal the former Scotland Under-21 international scored against Dnipro in last season's UEFA Cup run is the highlight of the Aberdeen manager's time at the club."Darren is a wonderful lad to work with," Calderwood told the club website."He is Aberdeen through and through and this is great news for the club."You know what you are 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."Mackie added: "I am delighted. I'm really pleased it is sorted out and I can concentrate on playing football."I have never hidden the fact I love being here so it was quite easy to get things sorted out."Hopefully during those three years I can have a good time and score more goals."I feel the team is doing well at the moment and we have the basis of a very good side and I want to be part of it."I want to win trophies and hopefully success will be coming soon."
