Youngsters mull over new deals
DUNDEE have offered new contracts to youngsters Matty Henvey and Jesse Curran.
Two stars in the club’s impressive Development side last season, Curran and Henvey have stepped up to the first team on multiple occasions over the past year and the Dee are keen to keep them.
Both have shown they have something to offer the senior side in the future.
Henvey demonstrated his goalscoring prowess in his fourth appearance for the top team, netting an important goal at Hamilton in a 2-1 victory.
That strike also spelled the end of his season, however, as he was caught on t he knee by Accies midfielder Darian MacKinnon, who hurt himself in the process.
Curran, meanwhile, was a real stand-out for the U/20s all season as they finished second in the Development League.
The Australian made eight appearances for the first team in the last campaign, ver y much impressing against Partick Thistle, in particular.
Both have their current deals coming to an end this summer.
Meanwhile, Dundee have been linked with a move for Partick Thistle left-back Callum Booth.
The 26-year-old could be brought in to replace the departing Kevin Holt and Jon Aurtenetxe with the squad bare in the left full-back department.
That all depends on whether Partick can keep themselves in the top flight with the former Hibs man free to leave if the club get relegated.
THE club have sold 2,500 season tickets for the new campaign, a “huge increase on the same stage” last year, according to Dundee.
The Early Bird Period is still running until June 9.
