Ex-Hearts youngster Kevin McHattie has joined former Tynecastle star Andy Kirk's project at Brechin City.
Working with former Jambos chief Craig Levein, on the Brechin board as an advisor, Kirk has been charged with building a squad capable of getting the Glebe Park side back into the SPFL after League Two relegation last term.
For his latest recruit, Kirk has turned to left-back McHattie, who started his senior career in Gorgie before spells with Alloa, Kilmarnock, Raith Rovers, Derry City and, most recently, Caley Thistle.
McHattie would make over 80 appearances in maroon, in both the Premiership and the Championship, as well as earn Scotland caps at youth level.
Delighted to seal a deal for the former U21 international and Hearts hopeful, Kirk said: "Getting Kevin on board was a big one for us.
"We're absolutely delighted to get it over the line and hopefully see him on the pitch very soon. He's got great experience having played at a higher level and I'm sure he'll help us immensely."
