Callum Booth signs new St Johnstone deal
St Johnstone have completed another contract extension after tying down Callum Booth for next season.
The left-back has signed a one-year deal a day after striker Stevie May pledged his future for a further two seasons.
The 29-year-old former Hibernian and Partick Thistle player started in the Betfred Cup final and scored a penalty in Saints’ shoot-out win over Rangers in the Scottish Cup on Sunday.
“I’m really pleased to have signed until 2022,” Booth told the club’s official website. “It’s good to know I will be playing my football with Saints next season.
“This season has been incredible and to get a League Cup winners’ medal was phenomenal.
“I’m really enjoying my football and we have a great bunch of lads in the dressing room.
“We now have a Scottish Cup semi to look forward to and we will give it our very best to be successful in this competition.
