Inverurie Locos and Turriff United have both announced new signings to their squads.

Locos have signed ex-Aberdeen and Clyde player Lloyd Robertson, while United have brought in defender Rhys Clark from Montrose.

Robertson (20) has signed a two-year deal with Inverurie.

Locos manager Andy Low said: "I have no doubt it is a great bit of business taking Lloyd to the club.

"Lloyd was well sought after by many of our competitors, as well as other teams in the Scottish leagues, but he is one I have had my eye on for a while and I’m delighted to get him onboard.

"We have had the benefit of working with Lloyd over the last couple of weeks at training and he has fitted in straight away.

"I think he sees what we are trying to do as a club as we now have a group of players that we hope can really kick on over the next couple of years.

"Lloyd adds height and strength to our team, as well as showing great composure on the ball and is very versatile, which is a big asset.

"You can see he has had a very good grounding at Aberdeen as a youngster and went onto to play for Clyde last season before moving back home in the summer.

"I'd like to thank the committee and sponsors for supporting us with this move, we are delighted with our business over the last few months.

"I was keen to put my own stamp on this squad for the new season and I now think we are well placed for the campaign ahead.”

Meanwhile, United welcome Clark (18) who is comfortable in the centre of defence or in a midfield role and came through the ranks at Dyce Boys Club, before joining Montrose at the age of 14.

He has represented Aberdeenshire School Select at under 15 and senior levels and has signed up to continue his career at The Haughs.

United manager Dean Donaldson said: "Rhys is a lad I’ve seen play since he was a young boy at Dyce.

"I’ve always rated him and as he gets used to playing against men he will just get better and better."
