Manager John McGlynn has hailed Liam Henderson as a "joy to work with" after the defender signed a contract extension at Falkirk until summer 2029, with the club holding the option of an extra year.

Former Falkirk youngster Henderson, 30, rejoined the club in 2022 as McGlynn's first signing and was pivotal to their back-to-back promotions and last season's top-six Premiership finish.

The defender has made 183 Bairns appearances and scored his 24th goal for the club in Sunday's 5-2 win at Hearts.

"Liam was the first player we signed when we arrived at Falkirk and he has just continued to get better and better," said McGlynn.

"He's a great professional, a great lad, and he really understands what Falkirk Football Club is all about.

"He's been a joy to work with throughout what have been mainly highs. We've been very successful during our time here and Liam has been a big part of that every step of the way."

Henderson says the club "means a lot to me" and he is "over the moon to have signed this extension".
