Don Cowie insists he wants to stay with Inverness Caley Thistle, despite interest from Aberdeen.

With nine goals to his name, the 25-year-old midfielder has enjoyed a successful first season in Inverness since joining from Ross County last summer.

And he has no plans to follow the likes of John Rankin, Mark Brown and Craig Dargo out the exit door.

"It's very flattering Aberdeen might be interested. However, I'm just here and want to make my mark at Caley," he said.

"I've still got a year left on my contract and if I can continue to play well then hopefully will offer me a new deal."
