Aberdeen winger Jonny Hayes has signed a contract extension until the summer of 2019.

The 29-year-old Irishman was the subject of three failed bids from Cardiff City during the January transfer window.

"I was more than happy to sign again and I have appreciated every minute that I have been here," said Hayes, who moved to Pittodrie in 2012.

"I am still enjoying it as well, working under the manager."

Dublin-born Hayes has added 12 months to his previous deal and boss Derek McInnes will hope others follow his lead.

Niall McGinn, Ryan Jack, Ash Taylor, Andy Considine and Peter Pawlett are all due to be out of contract at the end of this season.

"When I signed the last extension, I think it was three years ago, I always said that as long as he [McInnes] was here I would be happy to stay and I think that is the same with a lot of the boys," added Hayes.

The winger spent three seasons at Inverness Caley Thistle before joining the Dons and has scored six goals in this campaign.

That just protects Aberdeen's perceived value of the player.

He could still be gone in the Summer.

Move on.

Hopefully we can find better in the summer.

he can enjoy playing in the pub league for a few more years until he retires.

Signing a contract these days means a player is more likely to go than stay.

Not at 30, especially if you're a winger.

We won't be interested come the summer as there will be way more better and cheaper options available in my opinion.

We tried to get him as his agent said he was a possibility. Still overpriced and one of only a few who may have been avaiable but January is a sellers market and we would rather wait until the sipummer where we will get way better value for money.

Just my opinion like, but we won't get relegated and Colin is already negotiating how much money he will get from Tan not if he will get any money to spend at all.

I don't like Tan since the red horror show but I'm sure he will back our Colin. It's just a matter of how much. Warnock has asked for under 5 million. I think he will get it.

let it go

One that got away get a good upcoming winger in the summer.

He negotiated an extension, not necessarily a pay rise. He is rumoured to only be on around £3grand a week, and we would easily be able to more than triple that, which I'm sure would help his retirement fund. All the extension does is increase his transfer fee for Aberdeen. If he seriously wants to try the English leagues, he or his agent will make sure that clubs know his terms.

Huge interest from us in the January window then suddenly tied down to a contract, if we go back in the summer he will be gone.
