  • Published

Linfield have added Scottish striker Ryan Yates to their squad on a one-year deal.

The 23-year-old, who spent time in the academies of Rangers and Hibernian, arrives from Scottish League One side Stenhousemuir.

He also previously had a spell at Stranraer and becomes Linfield's second summer signing after Sean Brown.

"Matt is a talented forward with proven experience in senior football at such a young age," Blues boss David Healy told the club's website.

"He's a natural goalscorer with the intelligence to link play and has shown the hunger to improve further. We believe he'll be a strong addition to our attacking options this season."
