The 29-year-old had played two trial matches for Huntly, scoring in their recent 4-1 win at Lossiemouth and also featuring in the 3-0 success over Turriff on Monday.

Hunter had previous scored five goals in two trial appearances for Deveronvale including a debut hat-trick against Fort William, and the Banff club were one of several involved in the chase to sign the striker.

"I am absolutely delighted that he sees Huntly as the club to start his next chapter of his career.

"We have been light in the forward area all season and it’s been an area where have actively been looking to strengthen however it was important, we took our time to identify the players we felt were best suited to come into our environment and make an impact.

"I’ve every confidence in Andy that he will deliver for us during his time at Huntly."
