Stanway Extends Contract, Boosts Promotion Hopes
Partick Thistle midfielder Ben Stanway has signed a one-year contract extension, boosting the team's promotion hopes in the Scottish Championship. The 21-year-old had been widely expected to leave Firhill in the summer after a standout campaign of 12 goals last term.
Why It Matters for Partick
Stanway's decision to extend his contract is a significant boost for Partick Thistle's promotion hopes. The team narrowly missed out on promotion last season, losing out to St Mirren in the play-off final. With Stanway on board, Partick Thistle will be looking to make a strong push for the top flight.

Manager's Reaction
Manager Mark Wilson is delighted with Stanway's decision to extend his contract. "He wants to be part of something special here at Thistle," said Wilson. "He's been here since he was 11, so 10 years at the club. In his tenth year, if he can get promotion, it would really be the icing on the cake for him."
