Along with assistant manager Michael Rae and first team coach Mark Greig, Sharp (pictured) and his management team have signed two-year rolling extensions to their deals, which were due to expire in June.

In addition, club captain Adam Porritt has also agreed a new two-and-a-half year deal to stay at Station Park.

Sharp took over as manager in 2016 and presided over a complete rebuild of the squad, having inherited just six first team players.

He has led his side to 13th, ninth and 11th place finishes in the Highland League table, with the team currently sitting in seventh, just six points off a spot in the top three.

Sharp has also played a major role in the overhaul of the club’s youth structure, handing 18 teenagers their Highland League debuts in three-and-a-half years.
