Astley keen to remain at Dundee

Defender Ryan Astley is eager to extend his Dundee stay and is confident they will still be a Premiership club next season.

Steven Pressley's side are ninth, five points above second-bottom Kilmarnock and three clear of St Mirren, who they host on Saturday.

"I have got full confidence we can do that [stay in the Premiership]," the 24-year-old said.

"We have a good team. Performances have been good, we just need to put some wins with them and I know we are capable of doing that.

"We are still a young team so everyone is learning and the manager is big on that. I feel like you can see progression but with that you have dips as well in the season which is natural.

"So let's just get back to what we were good at and hopefully we can show what we can do."

Since arriving from Everton in January 2024 Astley has become a key player for Dundee.

And while his deal is up in the summer, the centre-back says he is enjoying his time at Dens Park and keen to stay.

He said: "Hopefully things are moving in the right direction. I really like it here, I like playing under the manager, the coaching staff, I feel like I have progressed a lot this season so we will see what happens.

"I think I have expressed that I am enjoying it here, I feel like I have improved as a player, that is why I came up here – to improve and play in this league because it is a really tough league and I am just enjoying it so let's see what happens."
