TEENAGE football ace Matthew Knox has signed a new deal with League One side Livingston. 

Knox, from Prestonpans, has put pen to paper on a new two-and-a-half year deal, almost a year after making his first team debut. 

A cameo appearance against St Mirren last Boxing Day saw the teenager become Livi's youngest-ever player, at just 16 years and four days.

The ex-Preston Lodge High School pupil has been subject of interest from a number of top clubs, and has been on trials with Manchester United, twice, Liverpool and Rangers.

However, he has elected to stay at the Tony Macaroni Arena.

Knox, who turns 17 on Thursday, was an unused substitute as Livi opened up a 10-point lead at the top of League One with a 2-0 win over Airdrieonians on Saturday.
