Brechin make it a double from East Craigie with signing of highly-rated midfielder

Brechin City have announced their fifth signing of the summer as they prepare for their second push for the Highland League title.

The Angus club have completed the signing of highly-rated midfielder Fraser MacLeod from East Craigie.

The 20-year-old is the second player to join City from the Dundee juniors following the arrival of Grady McGrath last month.

MacLeod enjoyed a successful season with The Shipbuilders, netting 16 goals in 43 appearances.

MacLeod has ‘impressed’

Brechin boss Andy Kirk was pleased to snap up the former Montrose youth player on a two-year deal.

“I am delighted to add Fraser to the group,” Kirk said.

“He joins on a two-year contract and is another player that fits the profile that we want at Glebe Park.
