“He brings leadership and a tireless work ethic.

“Chris wears his heart on his sleeve, and I believe our supporters will respond to that and enjoy having a player like that in the team.

“Importantly, Chris also brings real quality in the middle of the park, as well as being able to play in a number of different positions across the backline.

“Chris is a player who has gained promotion from this division, as well as having successful loan spells with Dumbarton and with Arbroath in the Championship.

“He’s also coming off the back of a very successful season with Dunfermline, where he’s reached the Scottish Cup final.

“I’m really looking forward to having Chris here and working with him.”
