An exciting transfer window closed yesterday with the capture of exciting young Scottish midfielder Fraser Fyvie.
His arrival brought the number of first-team players brought to the Club to five during the window – the others being goalkeeper Tomas Czerny, defender Keith Watson, and strikers Martin Boyle and Franck Dja Djedje.
In addition, the Club also brought in midfielder Aaron Scott, capped at Scotland under 17 level, to the Development squad set-up.
In addition a series of six-figure bids from Dundee United for Hibernian’s prized midfielder Scott Allan were rejected as the Club sets about building a team to sustain our push for promotion.
Chief Executive Leeann Dempster said: “It has been a busy and productive January, and we’ve achieved what we set out to do.
“We identified that we needed another goalkeeper, and we have an experienced guy in Tomas Czerny. We needed to strengthen the right hand side of our defence, and we brought in one of Scotland’s best young defenders in Keith Watson from Dundee United, where he played regular first team football.
“We know that we have a strong midfield, but additional quality in the second half of the season will be important and in Fraser we think we have that. We’ve also brought in two attacking options in Martin and Franck who provide different options to help provide the goals to get us back to the Premiership.
“It is correct that Dundee United made a number of approaches yesterday for Scott Allan. However, we were not interested in doing that business – we are building a team and Scott is a major part of our Club.
Leeann said the transfer window arrivals were only possible because of the commitment of supporters who continued to buy their season tickets at this time last year, and who committed to half season tickets, and to the ongoing support of the Holding Company.
“Without the commitment of supporters, we simply can’t do this kind of business. It is a clear demonstration of just how important it is to us that supporters continue to back us.
"So a big thank you to all who have bought season tickets, half season tickets, or who come along regularly to support the team. “
