Brewster to extend Aberdeen stay

Brewster may leave if he receives a suitable coaching offer

Aberdeen striker Craig Brewster has verbally agreed a six-month contract extension with the Dons.

Brewster, 40, will remain at Pittodrie until the end of the year unless he receives a suitable coaching offer.

"Craig has decided that he is going to stay with the club for a further six months," Dons boss Jimmy Calderwood told the club website.

"I don't think anything has been signed and sealed but he has certainly agreed to it when we had a chat."

The former Inverness and Dundee United manager will turn 41 in December, but Calderwood said he had no concerns over his fitness.

"He might have been slightly worried about his own level of fitness but that was never an issue for me," said Calderwood.

"If he did decide to go away and take a coaching job it would be a simple handshake, there wouldn't need to be any sort of 'get-out' clause."

Brewster joined Aberdeen last December, opting for a move to Pittodrie despite interest from St Mirren and Kilmarnock.
