Brechin City FC can confirm that Grant McNicoll has signed a 1 month contract with the club. With 4 defenders suspended for the opening game against Queens Park last Saturday, McNicoll was drafted into the side as a trialist.

McNicoll showed up well against the Spiders despite the scoreline and if he impresses in his short stay, then he may be given a longer contract.

Grant played 78 minutes of the game on Saturday before he was sacrificed for sub goalkeeper Chris McLuskey after Craig Nelson had been sent off.

Formerly of Hearts as a youth player, Grant signed for Berwick in 1997 and went on to make 275 appearances for the wee Rangers before he was let go at the end of the season.

Grant captained Berwick to the 3rd division title last season.
