Forfar Athletic boss Dick Campbell has boosted his squad by signing Jamie McCluskey initially on a short-term deal.
McCluskey has featured in the Loons’ last three games as a trialist, starting the fixtures against Airdrie and Stenhousemuir, and has agreed a deal until early January.
His registration papers will be lodged with the SFA today to allow him to feature in the pool for the Scottish Cup tie with East Fife on Saturday.
McCluskey, who celebrates his 26th birthday next week, was released by Dundee at the end of last season after injury problems had restricted his appearances for the Dark Blues.
He began his career at Hibs and has also played for St Johnstone, Wrexham, St Mirren and Clyde.
