Dundalk FC are pleased to announce that midfielder Ruaidhri Higgins has re-signed ahead of the 2015 campaign.

The playmaker moves into his second season on the Carrick Road after joining ahead of the historic 2014 campaign.

The Limavady man featured 40 times for the club last season and put in some memorable displays most notably in the EA Sports Cup – where he picked up his 6th winners medal in September, the historic win against Hajduk Split in the Stadion Poljud and came off the bench on the final day of the season to help the side clinch the title.

The former Derry City star renews his alliance with manager Kenny once again and he becomes the 12th member of the victorious squad to remain at the club.

Talking to dundalkfc.com after putting pen to paper the 30 year-old was happy to get deal done and is already looking ahead to the new campaign.

“Very happy to re-sign. I made 40 odd appearances last year and made a decent contribution but I hope I can make an even bigger one this year. I am looking forward to the Champions League as well. They’re special nights the European nights and I am fortunate enough to have played in a few of those but I think that the experience we gained this year will stand to us. I’m really looking forward to it. Can’t wait to get back into pre-season and getting my teeth into it.

“I have won a few League Cups, a couple of FAI Cups too but the league was the one I wanted and I finally got it. I had to wait 10 years for it but I was especially delighted to do it with such a great group of lads. They have made me feel very, very welcome from day one – the staff and the board as well have been brilliant. The players, the staff, the supporters and the board have all really pulled together and we ended up one step better winning the league but we want to keep it now.”
