After playing all but three matches for Morton in his first season, Gaston signed a new one-year deal in May 2013.[4]
In May 2014, he agreed to sign on for a further season,[5] followed by signing another one-year deal in May 2015 after winning Scottish League One.[6] Another contract renewal followed in October 2015, to tie him to the club until 2018.[7]
