Peterhead in triple swoop

Peterhead boss Jim McInally has made a triple transfer swoop as he builds his squad for an assault on the Third Division next season.

The Balmoor boss has signed left back Steven Noble from Stranraer, brought back Dundee United youngster Ross Smith to the Blue Toon on loan, and given his former East Stirling player Darren Kelly a deal at the club. McInally said: "I am delighted that Steven is joining us as he is a player I have always admired since he was a kid at Kilmarnock. I reckon he will be a great addition to our squad. "Ross was with us last season in a one month emergency loan deal and during that he began to play really well." Kelly featured for Peterhead briefly last season with McInally adding: "Darren came on as a substitute at an Annan game. He has also trained with us but I know what he can bring from my East Stirling days."
