Ross County bolster defence by signing Declan Gallagher

Ross County have secured the signing of experienced Scottish defender Declan Gallagher.

The 34-year-old has joined the recently relegated Staggies on a one-year contract following his departure from Dundee United at the end of last season.

Gallagher, a former Scotland international, gained promotion from the Scottish Championship to the Premiership a little over a year ago during his time at Tannadice.

With the aim of bouncing straight back to the big time, County hope Gallagher can give them some much-needed experience to bolster their backline.

Manager Don Cowie said: "Declan joining us is a fantastic addition to the group.

"We have had a number of players depart and this marks the first step in rebuilding the squad.

"He brings a wealth of experience in the Scottish game and has recently won the Scottish Championship with Dundee United, which is ultimately our aim for this season."

Gallagher - who has also turned out for Livingston, Motherwell, Aberdeen and St Mirren - will wear the number 31 for the Staggies.
