Andrew Steeves has reached the milestone of 250 appearances for Montrose FC, becoming the fourth member of the current squad to do so.

With Stewart Petrie’s side looking to secure a sixth successive top four finish, the 26-year-old has once again had a good season defensively as well as chipping in with goals against Clyde and Peterhead, taking his club tally to 13.

The ex-St Johnstone man arrived at Links Park, initially on loan from Forfar Athletic in March 2015 and penned a permanent deal the following season.

Petrie said: “This is a great achievement for Andrew, but comes as no real surprise.

"His attitude, application and incredible levels of consistency means he remains arguably one of the best left backs in the league and will undoubtedly go on to receive many more of these awards.

"He is exactly the calibre of player we want to attract and retain at the club.”

Steeves joins Terry Masson, Paul Watson and Graham Webster as the youngest member of the prestigious 250 plus club.

Montrose have signed 19-year-old Lyall Cameron on loan from Dundee until the end of the season.

Two separate loan spells with Peterhead over the last two seasons have seen the Dundee born player develop, make almost 30 appearances for the Balmoor side, scoring 5 goals in the process.

Manager Petrie added: “Lyall will be an exciting addition to our squad at a crucial time of the season.”
