He has signed for Peterhead. Seems a strange decision to stay part time and drop to the third division when he apparently had plenty of options in the SPL and the championship.

He is doing a plumber apprenticeship but he said playing full time was more important.
He was quoted as saying this last week: "I am wanting to go full-time. I'd like the opportunity to do that. I want to play at that level, but I know I've got to earn the right to play. I'm looking forward to the challenge of going full time.
"I am in my third year and still have some exams to complete, but I want to play full-time."

Guess he had a change of heart.

It is rather refreshing, the boy will no doubt step up in the next year or so, but when you are gonnae only earn £600-£800 a week as a professional footballer in the SPL. It doesnt exactly give you a nest egg when you retire!

Dont get me wrong could go on and become another Scott Dobbie and sign for a Championship club Earning 5k a week, but then you might not.

Sheepie sees sense - people forget he has already played in the SPL and didn't do a thing.
Naturally, I'm disappointed you didn't sign him.

Hobo,
Maybe you should be more worried about signing Darryl Duffy?!
Personally, Patrick Duffy would be better.
