Ex-Rangers and Hibs star Jason Cummings extends Central Coast Mariners stay after 'turning career around'

Jason Cummings has put pen to paper on a contract extension with Central Coast Mariners.

The former Rangers and Hibs star will now be tied to the club until 2024 after adding one-year to his current agreement.

Cummings arrived in Australia in January and has not looked back after netting ten goals in 21 appearances.

His form earned him a spot in the A-League All stars team that took on Barcelona, while many believe he should be part of the Socceroos' squad for the World Cup Finals.

Speaking about his new deal, he told the Mariners' official website: “I absolutely love playing my football here on the Central Coast.

"Since moving from Scotland in January, my life has completely changed, and I am very thankful for the Mariners to make that happen.

“I am delighted to sign another year’s extension on my deal here and give back to the club which has turned my career around.

“Throughout the rest of my time here, I will continue to give 100% for this club and its fans and I can’t wait to have a full season under my belt and challenge for the league’s golden boot.”

Mariners Head Coach Nick Montgomery added: “Jason brings a lot to this team both on and off the field.

"Since his arrival in January, he rejuvenated the change-room but more importantly, proved his worth on the field too.

“With Jason’s performances and goals attracting serious interest from overseas clubs as well as proving doubters wrong and making a real case for a Socceroos call up, it’s a massive boost for the club that he has shown loyalty to stay with the Mariners as he has full belief of the direction the club is heading in.

“What he brings to this squad is experience and intelligence and to have a striker of his value and worth at the Mariners for another two years will do great things for the game in this region and also this country."
