Broxburn Athletic have announced their first signing of the off-season as Ross Allum joins from East of Scotland Premier Division rivals Camelon.
The 32-year-old striker is well known to manager Chris Townsley having played alongside his new boss during a spell at Spartans.
Allum counts Linlithgow Rose, Edinburgh City and East Stirlingshire amongst his former clubs but has committed his future to the Albyn Park side.
A delighted Townsley said: “We are delighted to have secured Ross for next season. He has an excellent track record and has scored goals consistently in the Lowland League and East of Scotland.
“He has a great reputation as a goal scorer and having played with him I know how much more he can bring to the team with his all-round game.
“I’ve seen first hand how well he trains and how professional he is in his approach. We see this as a great fit for us and a brilliant addition to the squad.”
Allum, who last featured for Camelon in their Scottish Cup loss to Brora Rangers in January, added: “It’s been a while since I’ve kicked a ball but I am pleased to get back in and started.
“It’s great to get in and meet the team. I’ve known Chris and a few of the boys for a while now from previous clubs. The facilities, Chris as manager, and the potential here at Broxburn is what really drew me to the club.
“I’m here to score goals and make a contribution to the team. The hope is we can be competitive and progress.”
Broxburn were sitting comfortably in mid-table in the East of Scotland Premier Division when the league was shut down in January, before the clubs voted to declare the season null and void earlier this month.
There are tentative plans in place for the 2021/22 campaign to get up and running on July 17.
