Craig Harrison handed new deal at TNS

Director of football Craig Harrison has signed a new long-term contract with The New Saints.

After joining from Airbus UK, the former Middlesbrough defender has guided the Saints to two Welsh Premier League titles and a Welsh Cup triumph in his two seasons.

"It has been fantastic since I have been here," he said. "We have won the league twice, the Welsh Cup and I have had two fantastic experiences in the UEFA Champions League.

"I have a close relationship with all the staff at the club. We also have some great players with great attitudes, and I really enjoy working with them all on a daily basis."

Harrison, who hopes to attain his Pro Licence next year, has formed a particularly close bond with head coach Carl Darlington after the pair had also worked together at Airbus.

"Thanks to Carl I have now embraced coaching and I am a lot more forward thinking than I ever thought I would be," he added. "Carl and I have become good friends from work colleagues."
