Callum Mackay extends Berwick Rangers stay

Berwick Rangers have confirmed that defender Callum Mackay has agreed a contract extension with the club ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.

The promising talent signed for the Borderers from The Spartans back in 2023, but has endured an injury-hit stint at Shielfield Park in the period since, missing the entirety of the 2024/25 season, and joining East of Scotland First Division outfit Armadale Thistle on a short-term loan deal around the turn of the year after suffering another fitness setback.

But with Mackay back up to speed and featuring in the latter stages of Berwick’s Lowland League campaign, he has committed his future to the club - and is eager to kick on again next term.

He said: “I've loved coming since being back in the team. I've absolutely loved playing with the boys. It's a good group we've got, so I'm delighted to be back for another season at the club and really looking forward to kicking on next year.”

Mackay also celebrated his 50th game for Rangers during a recent 7-2 thrashing of Gretna 2008, and has reflected on his milestone in black and gold. He said: “Obviously, I've loved my time here. I would have rather had a few more games, but obviously that's been the injury...

“I think all I needed was just to get as much games as possible and just try and get my fitness back. I feel like I've got that, and I definitely feel like I'm showing a bit of what I was before the injury.”
