Jamie Langfield has signed a new contract with Aberdeen.
The 32-year old goalkeeper, who has been at Pittodrie Stadium since 2005, has decided to extend his stay by a further two years.
Langfield, whose contract was set to expire in the summer, has worked his way back into Craig Brown's first team after undergoing surgery for brain seizures about a year ago but will compete with Jason Brown for the number one shirt next season which he is excited about.
"I had a chat with the manager. He said it would be a level playing field next season, myself against Jason. There will not be a number one. It will be two guys going at it. I am always up for a challenge. I gave myself a challenge this year!
"I could have gambled and left and maybe tried my luck elsewhere. There was quite a bit of interest.
"Hopefully it is a new era for myself. I want to put this season behind me. I want people to start talking about me as a goalkeeper again and not my illness.
"I have been here seven years now. At the end of the contract it will be nine. I am an Aberdeen fan now. It is the longest I have ever been anywhere. I would love to finish my career here. It is a wonderful place to be with wonderful people.""The decision to sign the new contract was based on the fact I wanted to play," he told RedTV.
