“Kyle has played an integral part of progressing the club over the last three years both on and off the pitch and we are delighted he has committed to us for another season.”
Manager Chris Faulds welcomed the agreement and believes the experienced forward can play a major role in the season ahead.
He said: “I’m delighted Kyle had agreed to extend his stay at the club. On my arrival we enjoyed a good chat together and I expressed that I was very keen to work with him in the season ahead.
“We discussed how best we can allow him to go and have a really impactful season, and if Kyle Lafferty is at it, then I think everyone in football appreciates what a real asset and good player he is.”
