Former Hibs’ striker Kevin Harper will continue as manager of Albion Rovers for another year.
Last November Harper became the first black, Asian or minority ethnic boss at a Scottish club since John Barnes 15-years’ previously.
The 43-year-old who also played for Derby and Portsmouth began his managerial career with a run of 12 games without a victory but Rovers won five of their last nine fixtures to leapfrog Berwick Rangers at the foot of the table.
Following a 1-1 draw at home to Berwick on 2 March, Rovers were seven points adrift but went on to finish eight points clear in ninth place.
Joe McLaughlin has also agreed to extend his terms as assistant manager at Cliftonhill.
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
