Richardson looks Peterhead bound
Peterhead manager Jim McInally has agreed a deal to bring former Celtic, Bohemians and East Stirling full back Dean Richardson to Balmoor after the 26 year old impressed in a trial period.
Richardson was coached by McInally when he worked in the Celtic Youth set up and he was his skipper during his time as manager of East Stirling before moving to junior side Larkhall Thistle in 2011.
The pair have now been re-united with McInally saying: “Dean was terrific for me at the Shire where he was a real competitor. I am sure he will do a similar job at Peterhead however we have to work on his fitness first.”
