Livingston have triggered a one-year contract extension for Joel Nouble.
The striker's deal will now run until at least the end of the 2023/24 campaign.
Nouble has netted five goals so far this season and joined the Lions from Aldershot Town in the summer of 2021.
David Martindale said: “I’m delighted to get the year extension activated with Joel. He has been immense for us this season and he is a player who brings a lot to the team on and off the park.
“I genuinely think he has been one of the best offensive players in the league this season and brings far more to the team than just goals and his all-round game this season has really kicked on.
"He gives me great options in the offensive areas as he can play a seven, nine, or 11 with no detrimental impact on his performance.
“Joel is a player we should all enjoy as much as we can as we are lucky to have him and it’s great knowing we have extended his contract to protect the club.
“He will play a huge part in the games going forward and hopefully help the club make a strong finish to the season.”
Meanwhile, Celtic winger Mikey Johnston has declared his allegiance to the Republic of Ireland.
The 23-year-old has received FIFA international clearance to turn out for Stephen Kenny's side moving forward.
The Hoops academy product has decided to play for Ireland rather than await any potential call-up to the Scotland national team.
Johnston, who is currently on loan at Primeira Liga side Vitória Guimarães, has completed the eligibility process and is now available for selection ahead of Ireland's international fixtures against Latvia and France later this month.
