Derek Gaston – Contract Extension
Derek Gaston – Contract Extension
Arbroath FC are delighted to announce that goalkeeper Derek Gaston has signed a new extension to his contract and will go into his 3rd seasons at Gayfield.
Derek signed for Arbroath in the summer of 2019, and made his competitive debut in the Betfred Cup against Stirling Albion. Having battled with Darren Jamieson for the number 1 shirt, Derek made his Championship debut away to Dundee, then went on an 18 game run as Number 1 before the season was cut short due to the pandemic, keeping 7 clean sheets in all competitions.
This season Derek made the number 1 shirt his own starting in all 33 of our competitive matches keeping 8 clean sheets, meaning he was 2nd in the Championship for shut outs after Craig Gordon of Heart of Midlothian.
Derek is another member of our team who is committed to the long commute for training and match days.
Derek is also the Academy Goalkeeper coach at Kilmarnock FC.
With the best home defence in the Championship this season, and as a key member of our back 5, we look forward to seeing Derek back in action at Gayfield next season.
C’mon the Lichties!
