Mackintosh Returns from Down Under - By Steven Mew

Brechin City FC is delighted to confirm the return of midfielder Murray Mackintosh to the Club on a deal until the end of the season.

After making in excess of 100 appearances for Forfar Athletic whilst they were in League One, the 26 year-old was a key player for City after signing for the Club from the Loons in the summer of 2021.

He was almost ever-present in the heart of midfield before injury cut his season short in March. He made a total of 30 appearances, chipping in with 4 goals - with his stunning strike against Darvel in the Scottish Cup selected as goal of the season.

At the end of the campaign, 'Muz' made the move to Australia where he has been playing for Mandurah City, a side managed by ex-City player John Baird.

Since his return to Scotland at the tail end of last month, Murray has taken part in a number of training sessions and now that international clearance has been received, can now be officially confirmed as a City player again.

He will go straight into the squad for Saturday's Highland League fixture against Rothes at the Carnegie Fuels Stadium at Glebe Park.

Manager Gavin Price commented, "We are really pleased to bring Murray back to the Club. He is another player who will certainly strengthen us as we reach the crucial stage of the season.

"Fixtures will be coming thick and fast over the next few months and it is important we have depth to our squad to deal with this. Murray is a great addition and he can play comfortably in a number of positions."
