Steven Pressley is delighted "key player" Imari Samuels has signed a new deal at Dundee until the summer of 2029, with the club holding the option of an extra year.
The 23-year-old defender has made 49 appearances for the Dark Blues since joining in January 2025 from Brighton.
"In my time at the club, Imari has been a really key player for me. He's very brave, he's grown in confidence and belief and he's a player whose performances probably don't get the praise they deserve," said the Dundee boss.
"He's been a really consistent performer for me and he's still young, so we think there's still a lot to come from Imari."
Samuels had an injury-disrupted start to the season but has been ever-present in the Dundee team since his return.
"I'm really excited to get the deal over the line. I want to kick on from here now," he said.
"To get the injury in pre-season was frustrating because my ambition was to kick on this season, so I had real drive to get back into the team."
