MORTON have confirmed a key player has signed a new one-year deal to stay on with the club.

Winger Jai Quitongo will remain at the Championship team until next summer, with the former Dumbarton and Queen's Park attacker on track to become the next player to make over 100 appearances for the Greenock side.

Quitongo, 25, has turned out more than 80 times for the Ton over two spells, having returned to Greenock last summer following stints elsewhere in Scotland and in Iran.
