Chris Mochrie has joined Championship side Airdrieonians after being released by Dundee United.

Mochrie, 21, was among 15 players to leave Tannadice during a massive summer exodus, joining the likes of David Wotherspoon, Scott McMann and Archie Meekison in searching for new clubs.

The Scotland U/21 international rippled the net three times in 30 games as United marched to the Championship title last term, albeit 22 of those outings were from the bench.

Indeed, die-hard Arab Mochrie even scored the goal that effectively sealed promotion for the Tangerines, bagging a crucial leveller against Ayr United.

Dunfermline Athletic, for whom Mochrie enjoyed a fine loan spell in 2022/23, were interested in his services, but he has opted to become a Diamond.

“Last season was a great experience for me; getting promoted with United,” Mochrie told the Airdrie’s’ official X account. “But I want to come here, play more and really establish myself.”
