DUNDEE UNITED have tied Nicky Clark down to a new long-term deal – ending speculation that city rivals Dundee would make a move for the attacker.
It had been reported that Dundee were set to offer Clark a pre-contract to move, that would have seen the former Rangers man move to Dens Park at the end of the season.

James McPake’s side have already signed Paul McMullan from Tannadice, who will join up with the Championship outfit in the summer.
But Clark, the club’s top goal scorer this term with 11 goals, has committed himself to United until 2023.
Speaking to the club’s website he said: Nicky said, "I'm delighted to get the contract signed. I am really happy at the Club and have developed as a player in my time here. This is a good place to play football with a great dressing room group and excellent staff and facilities. I also enjoy a very good relationship with the United fans and I cannot wait to see them back in the stadium cheering me and the boys on as soon as possible."
🔥He's our 𝙩𝙤𝙥 𝙜𝙤𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙧 this season and he is here until at least 2023.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
