Airdrieonians have confirmed the signing of former Leeds United defender Luke Lyons.
Lanarkshire Live Sport revealed yesterday that boss Ian Murray was set to offer the 20-year-old a deal after a successful trial and the Diamonds have secured his signature, subject to international clearance.
Lyons, who came through the academy at Elland Road, told airdriefc.com: “I’m delighted to sign for Airdrie, I’ve enjoyed my time here so far and I’m ready for the season ahead.
“As soon as I spoke to the manager I knew it was a good fit for me, and I’m looking forward to it.”
Manager Ian Murray said: "We had Luke in for 7-10 days after getting a recommendation from someone we know down south, and he was everything that they said.
“We’re delighted to sign him and give him a platform to go and play again after some bad luck, but he’s had a great background down at Leeds and I think he’s got a real chance of having a big future.”
The signing of Lyons comes after the Diamonds this morning signed former Motherwell midfielder Matthew McDonald.
