CIERZNIAK CONTRACT EXTENSION

6th March 2013

Dundee United today confirmed they had extended the contract of Radoslaw Cierzniak until May 2015.

Radoslaw joined United in the summer of 2012 on a two-year deal and has been a regular in the side playing in every competitive match so far.

The Polish internationalist made his debut against Dynamo Moscow in the Europa League Qualifying tie and has had 12 clean sheets so far in his 36 games.

Manager Jackie McNamara said: "This extension is merited because Rado has shown that he is an excellent SPL goalkeeper. It can sometimes be difficult for a foreign player to come into a Club and settle but he has done so superbly.

"He is a very good shot stopper and in my time here has shown some excellent aerial handling skills. It is a bonus for him to know his future is secure until at least May 2015 and it is great for us to know he wants to remain a United player until then also."

Radoslaw said: "I enjoy playing for Dundee United very much and, having settled in the area, it is an easy decision for me to sign on for a further year.

"I came here to improve as a player and I feel I am doing so. The Club, players and supporters have all helped with this and I look forward to exciting times over the next few years at Dundee United."
