The 27-year-old was born in Leeds, with a surname originating from a Lithuanian great-grandfather, but grew up north of the border and represented Scotland up to under-19 level.

Montrose boss Stewart Petrie said: “Jamie is a player with real pedigree who has played at a high level and is hungry to kick on again.

"Having watched him play against us many times and followed his career, he has always been a player I would have loved to play for us.

“He brings a level of creativity and intelligence that will really enhance our midfield, so we’re delighted he’s chosen to be part of what will hopefully be an exciting period ahead for us.”

Barjonas added: “Montrose is a club that’s been consistently competitive and plays a style of football I really enjoy, so I’m looking forward to contributing to a big season ahead.”

Duffy has made over 100 appearances for Peterhead, Stirling Albion, Inverness CT, and Airdrieonians, with the 22-year-old comfortable at left‑back or in more advanced wide roles.

Petrie said: “Flynn is a player we’ve tracked for a while, he’s quick, he’s positive, and he’s hungry to kick on in his career.

"His versatility down the left side gives us real options, and we believe he’s got the potential to develop into a top player at this level. We’re delighted to bring him in.”

Duffy added: “Montrose is a club known for giving young players a platform to grow, so I’m looking forward to calling Links Park home.”

Montrose will host St Johnstone on Saturday in Andrew Steeves’ testimonial match.
