McIndoe, Sean Coyle and Kirk Crichton have all put pen to paper on new deals until summer 2028.

The club were keen to tie the trio down on improved contracts following the Citizens' fine run of form this season.

The former Bristol City, Doncaster and Coventry midfielder deservedly won back-to-back manager of the month awards for November and December as the Meadowbank men amassed 16 points from a possible 21.

McIndoe took over the reins from predecessor Alan Maybury in October 2023 but endured a troublesome first six months that saw City docked six points for failing to pay players' wages on time before the club were relegated from League One.

However, City have been a different animal this campaign and currently occupy the final promotional playoff berth as they eye a quick-fire return to Scottish football's third tier.

A statement from the club's board read: "Michael has brought incredible energy and professionalism to the club and his impact has been clear for everyone to see. His leadership, alongside Kirk and Sean, has been crucial in rebuilding our identity and pushing the team forward. We are delighted to keep him at the club as we continue this journey together."

McIndoe was only too happy to get the deal finalised, as he said: "I'm honoured to extend my stay at Edinburgh City. The players, staff and fans have been incredible and this is just the beginning. We've built strong momentum and I'm excited about the direction we're heading in."
