Hamilton have confirmed that first-team stars Mickel Miller, Ronan Hughes, Ross Cunningham and Shaun Want have all extended their contracts at the club for at least another year as they look to build on Brian Rice’s impressive start as manager.
Accies have already secured Steven Davies to a one-year extension to his deal and the latest news will be a big boost ahead of the new campaign.

“Our academy success is one of the most important factors at this club and it’s great for some of the younger players to see the pathway into first-team football is there.”
Miller finished the season as the club’s top goalscorer with eight goals while keeping homegrown trio Cunnigham, Hughes and Want is a shrewd move.

After finishing tenth in the Scottish Premiership last season, Rice’s Hamilton side will be hoping the can continue to climb up the table and avoid being sucked into a relegation battle again.
Keeping key players like Miller at the club is a step in the right direction but Hamilton will still need to bring in some new faces before the season gets underway or risk facing a long campaign.
