Thomas O’Brien Contract Extension
Arbroath FC are delighted to announce Club Captain Thomas O’Brien has signed a new five-year contract extension that will take his time at Gayfield up to the Summer of 2028 and make it a total of 11 years-service with the Club.
31-year-old Thomas signed for Arbroath in the Summer of 2017 and to date has made 218 appearances for the Club, scoring 18 goals as well as becoming our Club Captain.
Thomas spoke at the announcement “I am delighted to commit my long-term future to Arbroath, there are a lot of special and exciting things happening here and I am desperate to be part of it. I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank the Management team and board of Directors for the faith shown and I am looking forward to repaying this and also help bring more success to everyone at Arbroath.”
Manager Dick Campbell said “This is a significant announcement for everyone at Arbroath FC and real intent shown by both the Club and Thomas. He quite rightly recognises the strong foundations already put in place in recent years and not only wants to be a part of our exciting future plans, but he’ll play a hugely important role in helping shape the Club going forward.”
We know this news will really excite our supporters to know their Captain has committed his long-term future to the club.
