Scott Arfield has opted to remain with Falkirk for their return to the Scottish Premiership return after signing a one-year deal.

The 36-year-old midfielder rejoined his first club on a short-term contract in February, helping to seal the Championship title win with nine goals in 13 appearances.

The former Burnley and Rangers player left Falkirk to join Huddersfield when the club was relegated from the top flight in 2010.

Now he will be part of John McGlynn's squad as they end that 15-year absence.

"Scott made a huge impact after joining us, the nine goals he got went a long way to helping us achieve our goal," manager McGlynn told the Bairns' website.

"Scott has been very influential on the pitch and also off the pitch where his experience has helped us no end.

"We look forward to working with Scott in the Premiership next season, it's exciting times ahead for everyone at the club."
