Goalscoring hero Gary Mason looks set to extend his stay.
In amongst the euphoria of the Pars miraculous great escape act and the announcement of Leishman as manager, two of the club's most promising youngsters have extended their stay at the club.

Youth keeper Sean Murdoch and midfielder Craig Wilson have both signed two-year extensions to their deals which were set to run out at the end of this current campaign.

Craig Wilson, in particular, has impressed Pars fans after bursting onto the first-team scene since Leishman's appointment, putting in decent performances in the last two games.

Murdoch - one of the country's most promising goalkeeping talents - has performed consistently for the U19's this season, earning him a regular cal-up to the Scotland U19 squad.

Leishman has also confirmed that the club hope to sort out new contracts for left-back Ian Campbell and Sunday's goalscoring hero Gary Mason in the next week or so. Although Leish admitted that he is pessimistic as to the chances of Barry Nicholson staying at East End.
