Livingston FC is delighted to confirm that the club has triggered the one-year extension on Ayo Obileye’s contract which will see the defender remain with the club until at least the end of the 2023/24 season.

The 28-year-old has made 72 appearances for the club since joining from Queen of the South at the start of the 2021/22 season, scoring 8 goals across last season and this.

An injury at home to Hibernian last month meant Ayo’s season was cut short but with good progress already made in his rehab process so far, we’re all hopeful of seeing the defender back and ready to go for pre-season training in June.

Manager David Martindale said: “I’m delighted that we’ve been able to exercise the additional year on Ayo’s contract to see him remain at the club for next season.

“Losing him when we did has been a big blow as the presence Ayo brings to the team at the heart of our defence is huge. The fact he’s amassed over 70 appearances in just over a season and a half shows how important he’s been to the team and I’m looking forward to having him back for pre-season as we turn attention to next season.

“This extension gives Ayo the peace of mind given his injury that he still has a big role to play here next season and his experience will be vital as we look to improve on this season.”
