The 20-year-old midfielder played for current Keith co-managers Andy Roddie and Tommy Wilson during a spell at Huntly.

He has completed the switch to Kynoch Park from Bridge of Don Thistle juniors, and is seen by Roddie as a strong part of his team building with the Maroons.

"Tom has great ability, very clever on the ball, wants to get on the ball and to play which is all the stuff that we want to do," he said.

"It’s in our philosophy, we want to keep the ball and make sure that we don’t give it away cheaply.

"He will give us a lot of energy, he’s very fit and competitive so that is attributes we want to see in players we are bringing in. Certainly he’s another fantastic addition to the squad."

Andrews can play in centre midfield or full-back, where he featured in a spell with Bridge of Don.

"We see him at his strongest playing the number ten, false nine position. That’s where he is at his best.

"He has fantastic potential and both Tommy (Wilson) and I think that Tom can probably play at a higher level given the opportunity, so we are hopeful that we can help him do that."

The Keith bosses also signed goalkeeper Craig Reid from Dyce Juniors and attacking midfielder Mikey Ironside from Deveronside.

"We are in discussions with other players and we are looking to strengthen," Roddie added.
