Former Blackpool and Fleetwood Town striker bags move north of the border
The 24-year-old, who was released by Blackpool at the end of last season, has signed an initial one-year deal with the SPL outfit.
The forward scored two goals in 17 appearances after joining the Seasiders on a short-term deal in January from Fylde coast neighbours Fleetwood Town.

Hide AdLong had signed a two-year deal at Highbury the previous summer, having previously scored four goals in 18 appearances on loan from Burnley.
“I can’t wait to get started,” Long said.
“I’ve seen a number of my ex-team mates and players I’ve come up against join the club in the past and become a big success. I’m hoping to follow in their footsteps.”
Long will link up with former Seasiders Charles Dunne and Peter Hartley at Motherwell.
