HAMILTON boss Billy Reid will today complete the signing of David Graham on a new two-year deal.

The 25-year-old former Gretna ace was snapped up by Accies on a short- term contract until the end of the season back in December - now New Douglas Park gaffer Reid reckons Graham will be a big player for his side in their bid to consolidate in the SPL next season.

Reid is also confident of re-signing Republic of Ireland Under-21 star David Elebert on a one-year extension.

The Accies boss said: "I feel David Graham has huge potential and hopefully next year we will see him at his best for Accies. It is amazing to think that he has won something like five championship medals in the last six years. That is some record.

"He can beat an opponent and really excite the fans and, with our artificial pitch being ripped up and a new turf surface re-laid, he will benefit from that."

Reid added: "In regard to Elebert, we will be re-signing him on a one- year extension when he returns from duty with the Republic of Ireland Under-21s next week."
