Tidser thrilled to remain at Morton

MICHAEL Tidser admits that the pull of home was too much to resist after he committed to a further two years at Morton.

The midfielder has agreed a new two-year deal, by the end of which he will be up to eight years service at the club over his two spells at Cappielow.

And with life off the park going as well as on it for the 27-year-old Ton star, he said it was an easy decision. Tidser told gmfc. net: “I had a meeting with the manager a couple of times, discussing plans for the future, and everything seems bright.

“Collectively we’ve done well and you know the manager, he never stands still. Every year it’s a new challenge for him, and I wanted to be part of it. Hopefully I can go and do well and help keeping the club moving forward.

“Here definitely feels like home. I came here as a boy and now I’m a man, as they say. I’ve been here a long time and met a lot of nice people along the way. Just driving down the road there to sign, I just thought: ‘This will be me again for another two years.’ In a good way.

“This is my life and it would have been weirder not coming down. I’m happy here. At the end of the season my contract was up and people were asking: ‘What’s happening?’ I wanted to be part of it again and achieve something here.

“It’s easy sometimes for people to jump ship and move on, and maybe look back and think: ‘Should I have stayed?’ Going back to when I left for Rotherham, I felt I needed a fresh challenge then.

“I was at an age where you get caught up and think: ‘I wonder what’s out there.’ The best thing I did was move on, because it gave me a new perspective and made me appreciate where I was.

“If you’re happy and everything’s going well, that’s the most important thing for me.”
