Former Coventry City young defender Stuart Urquhart has signed for Dunfermline FC.
The central defender was told by Steven Pressley that he was unlikely to feature for the first team this season and faced with a season of U21's football, the former Glasgow Rangers player had his contract cancelled by mutual consent.
Urquhart has been training with Hamilton and Dunfermline and has signed a one year deal. He told the Dunfermline club website: I was keen to come somewhere where I had a chance of getting some games. I had other offers but I have been in here training and I was impressed with the set up and enjoyed the training; it was fast and intense. There is a good bunch of boys and some really good players in the group. I was encouraged by it all. There is a good bit of positivity about the place. They all want to do well.
"I knew a couple of the boys having played youth team games against them when I was at a Rangers. You settle in quickly though after being here in training."
