Keith have signed midfielder Craig Gill from Inverurie Locos, with one of their players moving in the opposite direction.
Maroons midfield player Dem Yunus has joined Locos having rejected a new deal at Kynoch Park, with Locos paying a fee for his services.
Keith boss Craig Ewen had been on the trail of Gill (24) for some time and makes the player his second close season capture following the signing of defender Murray Addison from Formartine United.
Yunus (20) impressed at Keith over the past few seasons, making 80 appearances and scoring five goals.
Inverurie manager Andy Low said on Locos' Facebook page: "I am delighted to welcome Dem to the club having been a target of mine in my last period as manager and as soon as I returned too.
"At only twenty years old, Dem has four years SHFL experience behind him now, playing consistently under a few different managers at Keith.
"He will offer us strength, composure and passing ability on the ball, and I believe he will improve the physical side of the midfield which will help get the best out of others in that area.
"We are having to be patient with our targets but it's another clear indication of how we are looking to recruit. Dem is at a great age with his best years ahead of him, room for development, whilst impacting things immediately.
"We are actively working hard to take in this type of player and its great our patience has paid off with this one."
