St Duthus have signed former Highland League midfielder James Mackay to bolster their squad ahead of the new North Caledonian League season.
Mackay agreed a deal to join the Grant Park outfit with several seasons of Highland League experience under his belt, having come through the youth set-up at Wick Academy.
He later went on to play for Fort William, Brora Rangers, Strathspey Thistle and Rothes before joining Golspie Sutherland in the North Caledonian League, with whom he won a league winners’ medal in 2019.
On signing for Saints, Mackay said that he was aiming to win some silverware with the club and is looking forward to football restarting again.
He said: “I’m looking forward to getting back to kicking a ball, enjoying my football and hopefully winning something along the way.”
Manager Stuart Ross said Mackay is capable of playing anywhere across the midfield, or in forward positions, and will bring a great deal of versatility, creativity and quality to the team.
“We’re absolutely delighted to bring him into the club,” he said.
“He’s a player we’ve been aware of for some time and to able to get him on board is great news for St Duthus.
“Having James on board will enhance our options and create competition for places in the middle of the park, which can only be a good thing for our already competitive and committed squad.”
St Duthus have also confirmed Robbie Murray and Craig Munro have not been resigned and have left the club.
