Beijing Olyroo Trent McClenahan has been rewarded for a good debut season at Hamilton Academicals with an offer of a new deal to stay at New Douglas Park.McClenahan, 24, joined the Scottish Premier League club as a free agent last September on a one year deal and impressed the Accies over time becoming a first-team regular as the season wore on.
Hamilton boss Billy Reid said, "Trent has been offered a new contract and we're waiting to hear if he's accepting it.
"He merits a new deal because he was great for us.
"The Australian defender is currently back home having undergone double hernia surgery which he had been putting off since Christmas in order to be available to help aid Hamilton's relegation battle.
Reid added: "He showed a real commitment by playing on with an injury and made a significant contribution to helping us stay up."
According to the Hamilton Advertiser, the Accies have offered McClenahan another one-year-deal, but Reid admitted he wasn't sure if the former West Ham United youngster would accept such a contract.
"We're not 100 per cent certain if Trent is going to sign up with us for next season yet, so we'll be looking for a right-back, and a couple of defenders," Reid said.
