Linfield announce signing of Sam Roscoe from Ayr United

Linfield have announced the signing of defender Sam Roscoe.

Roscoe has agreed a two-year deal with the Irish Premiership champions and will put pen-to-paper when the transfer window opens on Wednesday.

The 22-year-old plays in the centre of defence and is welcome addition to David Healy's squad following the departures of Mark Stafford and Mark Haughey.

"Sam is a young player who joins us from Ayr United in Scotland and he was previously with Aberdeen and had a spell on loan at Alloa Athletic," Healy told Linfield's website.

"We’ve obviously known for some time that we’d need to bring in central defenders with the two Marks having moved on to Glenavon so we’ve been targeting Sam for some time.

"I’m really looking forward to working with him when he joins us in a few weeks time and I know our supporters will give him a warm welcome when he comes over to meet up with his new team mates.

"Despite having played in Scotland, Sam is from Manchester and I know from when he was here a few weeks ago that he’s really looking forward to getting started with us and, hopefully, making a significant contribution to our seasons ahead”
