Striker Steve Davies signs permanent deal at Hamilton

Experienced striker Steve Davies today (Monday) signed a one-year deal at Hamilton Accies.

The 31-year-old former Derby County, Bradford and Rochdale hit man will remain at New Douglas Park until the end of the 2019-20 season.

Davies signed a short-term deal in January and scored two vital goals during last season's successful Premiership survival bid. He netted in a 1-1 draw with St Mirren, and in the 2-0 win at home to St Johnstone on the final day, securing top-flight status.

Davies told the club's website: "I'm delighted to be spending another year at Hamilton. I've settled in well up here and I'm looking forward to a new season ahead.

"The last game of the season against St Johnstone really hit home for me, after scoring the goal to secure Premiership stafety, I knew I still had a job to do here."

Head coach Brian Rice said: "Steve has been great since he arrived, both on and off the pitch.

"He brings that senior mindset to the dressing room with his experience, and that will help the younger Academy players who have made the step up."

Davies is Hamilton's fifth summer signing, signing after defenders Markus Fjortoft, Brian Easton and Ciaran McKenna, and midfielder Blair Alston.
