Tony Docherty "humbled" after agreeing new Dundee deal

Dundee manager Tony Docherty's declaring himself "humbled" to be approached to sign a new deal.

He remains on a rolling contract, but under improved terms which give added security to both boss and club.

Docherty, formerly a long-serving assistant of Kilmarnock gaffer Derek McInnes, led the Dees to a top-six finish in the Scottish Premiership in his first season as a manager.

The 53-year-old says on Dundee's website: "I am excited to have signed a new deal with the club and I'm quite humbled that the club approached me for a contract extension.

"My ambitions are matched by the ambitions of the club, we want to take the success of last season and to improve us and make us even better.

"I'm delighted that I've got the opportunity to work at such a brilliant club and I want to progress the club further."
