FALKIRK have agreed a new deal with Peter Grant to hang on to the defender until 2017.
The 20-year-old - son of the former Celtic midfielder of the same name - had agreed a pre-contract to join the Bairns from Norwich City before manager Gary Holt returned to the Canaries last summer to be replaced by Peter Houston.
Houston honoured the agreement and was eventually won over by some impressive displays from Grant, who is now regarded a mainstay of his defence.
The former Norwich City trainee's initial contract was due to expire at the end of the season but that has now been extended by another two years.
Houston said: "I am delighted that Peter has signed on for a further period at the club.
"He hadn't played a lot of first-team games when he came here but he has worked hard at his game and forced his way into the team to become a regular.
"There's no doubt he has a bright future at Falkirk."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
