Adam MacDougall signs new one-year deal with Newcastle Knights
Newcastle Knights veteran Adam MacDougall will play on for another season after signing a new one-year deal with the club on Friday.
MacDougall, 35, will play his 17th season in 2011 hoping to add to his 176 first-grade games.In a career that has taken him from the Knights to the Roosters and Rabbitohs and back to Newcastle again, MacDougall played some of his best football in 2010, forming a strong combination with winger Akuila Uate.
"I’m very excited about re-signing with the club for another year," MacDougall said.
"I’m looking forward to playing in 2011 in what shapes as an exciting year for the club with the re-opening of the new grandstand and the acquisition of several key players.
"With the team that we’ll be fielding, I am very confident that we’ll be playing finals football at the end of 2011."
MacDougall has become a cult figure with Knights' fans and this year went past Timana Tahu as the club's all-time leading try scorer.
