We have completed the signing of promising Norwich City goalkeeper Archie Mair on loan until the end of the season.
Mair, who has represented Scotland at various youth levels and has been training with us, will provide competition for number-one goalkeeper Sam Slocombe following Brad Young’s return to Leicester City.
Our goalkeeper coach, Tom Weal, who worked with the 21-year-old at Norwich, said: “Archie is a highly-skilled young goalkeeper with a significant amount of experience both in this league and on the international stage.
“He’s a top professional and brings with him a brilliant work-rate and many of the tools we look for in our goalkeepers, which allow them to complement the team’s style of play.
“It’s really important that we brought in the right person to strengthen our goalkeeping department and add to its culture, and I’m delighted Archie has agreed to come on board.
“His arrival means we’re now able to look for the most appropriate loan for Tiernan Brooks to gain more competitive game experience, which is currently vital for his development.”
Mair began his career in Aberdeen’s youth setup before joining the Canaries, for whom he was twice named among the substitutes in the Premier League.
He has National League experience from a spell with King’s Lynn Town, while he has also spent time with Lincoln City and, this season, National League South title-chasers Dartford.
