Kevin Braniff signs one-year contract extension with Irish Cup finalists Glenavon

Kevin Braniff has given Glenavon a boost ahead of Saturday's Irish Cup final by agreeing a one-year contract extension with the Lurgan Blues.

Braniff fired all four Glenavon goals in their 4-3 Irish Cup semi-final over league champions Crusaders last month.

The ex-Portadown striker signed for Glenavon in June 2014 after returning home from a brief stint in Australia.

Braniff, 33, has earned two Northern Ireland caps.

Both of Braniff's Northern Ireland appearances came in 2010.

Glenavon face Linfield in Saturday's Irish Cup final.
