Blue Toon lost out on keeper

Peterhead have lost out on the signing of Michael Andrews after the goalkeeper decided to join Brechin City.

The Balmoor club took the former Scotland Under-21 stopper on trial during their pre-season campaign and hoped to secure his signature before the start of the 2012-13 season, with manager Jim McInally announcing the capture on the club's official website. But the 22-year-old has since done a U-turn on his former boss, who managed him during a year at East Stirling, and signed for Second Division club Brechin. Andrews had been training with the Blue Toon following his release from Montrose and played in a friendly for the club, however he also featured in Brechin's 5-0 pre-season win over his former club at Links Park on Saturday and is widely expected to sign in the coming days.
