Speaking to the club’s website, McCarthy said: “TC and I have enjoyed every minute of the time we’ve had at this great club so far and we’re delighted to be staying. I’d like to thank Vincent for offering us the opportunity to do that.
“The players have responded to us over these past ten games in the manner we hoped they would, and it’s a pleasure working with them each day in training.
“Credit to them for the efforts they’ve put in so far and the results they’ve earned. They’re enjoying it and deservedly so. I’m very much looking forward to the future.”
Tan Sri Vincent Tan said: “Mick and Terry have done a fantastic job over these past two months and I’m thrilled that they will be staying with us longer term.
