Huntly have added to their squad today as Manager Martin Skinner has moved quickly to bolster his defensive options ahead of the new season. The Black and Gold’s have signed up Logan Johnstone following the expiry of his contract with Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Skinner is delighted to add the 19 year who has considerable potential.

“We're delighted we have managed to sign Logan. He's played a lot of games in the Highland League for someone at just 19 and is a great prospect.”

The teenager has had two seasons of regular football at this level following loan spells at both Lossiemouth and Forres Mechanics and his new Manager knows how beneficial that can be for young defenders having used the loan market recently taking Ryan McRitchie to Christie Park for a year.

“As we know, Forres have an experienced and settled defence so he’ll have learnt a lot last season and he’ll have picked up a lot playing under Charlie Rowley. I remember when we played them last season, they were defensively very sound and kept it tight with two clean sheets against us. Hopefully for us he carries that form over to this club, he’s got plenty of confidence and is a good talker and that will help us out at the back.”

Huntly kept eleven clean sheets last season and a key part in picking up results was having a settled defence. Martin believes that Johnstone will settle in well with the current defenders at the club.

“He’s a left-sided player, which is something we lacked last season and he gives that balance of potential going to a back three if and when it requires. He’ll slot right in there with our defensive line up and that gives us a big boost heading into pre-season.”

Recently appointed Chairman Gordon Carter confirmed

‘’ The signing of Logan underpins our philosophy of developing talented young players and giving them the opportunity to progress in the Highland League. We have one of the youngest squads at this level, and as they gain experience we hope to build on our excellent progress of last season’’
