Livingston complete signing of Guinean defender Ibrahima Savane

Livingston made their seventh signing of the summer after announcing the arrival of defender Ibrahima Savane.

The 25-year-old last played for Beziers in Ligue 2 and has signed a two-year contract at the Tony Macaroni Arena, with the club having an option to extend for a further year.

The left-back featured as a trialist last week's 2-0 friendly victory over Alloa Athletic.

Speaking to the club's official website, boss Gary Holt said: "Davie (Martindale) and myself have been working with various agents across Europe this summer trying to identify players that are 1. within our financial structure and 2. have the ability to play in the Scottish Premiership.

“Ibrahima is one of the players that has ticked both those boxes. He’s a talented footballer who has played Ligue 2 in France, which is a very good standard.

“Ibrahima came in and trained with the squad over the last week or so and played around 75 minutes against Alloa Athletic last Tuesday. By all accounts he did well and we think he will adapt to Scottish Football fairly quickly and be an asset to the team going forward.”
