Craig Conway has signed a two-year contract extension to keep him at Tannadice until May 2011.

Conway has been dogged by bad luck with injuries, including several lay-offs with fractured bones in his feet, since joining from Ayr in June 2006.

But the 23-year-old has now fully recovered and Craig Levein was keen to secure his future.

Levein told the club's website: "I consider a fit Craig Conway to be a real asset to the team and he has an important role to play in the side.

"He adds width and pace to either flank and has a good delivery, both from open play and from dead-ball situations.

"These are important attributes for any team, but especially for us as I believe we now have a number of quality strikers at the club who will be able to take real advantage of good deliveries into the box from wide positions.

"Although Craig is still a little short of match fitness, his brief appearances in the last few games have shown that he can be effective for us and very influential in the way that we play."
