First in the door was 24-year-old midfielder Scott McGill from Championship new boys Stenhousemuir.

On signing a two-year deal he told the club’s media team: "As soon as the managers phoned me and told me of their plans I was really keen on signing straight away.

"Arbroath had a very successful season last year, and the year prior, and I’m sure we can do the same this year.”

There is also a return to Gayfield for 24-year-old striker Andy Winter from Livingston on a one-year-deal.

The former Scotland youth international spent part of the 2024/25 season on loan at helping Arbroath win the League One title.

Winter said: “I am delighted to be joining Arbroath again and looking forward to seeing a few familiar faces.

"I had a very enjoyable and successful spell the last time I was here and the boys have kicked on again.

"Hopefully we can keep that success going and bring more good times for the supporters.”

Making up the trio of new faces is 25-year-old left-back Brody Paterson from Kelty Hearts, who has also signed a one-year deal.

He said: “There’s a great group of players here and I’m excited to be a part of what the club is looking to achieve.

"I can’t wait to give everything I can to help the team have another successful season.”

In addition goalkeeper Aidan McAdams has pledged his future by signing a two-year contract extension.
