We’re delighted to announce the signing of Jacob Comerford on a 1-year deal.

The 19-year-old central defender joined Dundee United as part of their U18s squad in 2020 before signing his first professional contract with the club in January 2021. He spent last season at Cumbernauld Colts where he made 15 appearances for the Lowland League side while on loan from United.

Manager Greig McDonald: “Jacob really impressed us when he played as a trialist for Cowdenbeath on Tuesday night, and I’m delighted he has chosen to join us. Paul worked with him as kid at Hearts before he went to Dundee United so knows him well. He’s a big lad, aggressive, and comfortable on the ball with a lot of potential and I confident he will be a great addition to the team”.

Jacob joined up with the squad at training last night ahead of tomorrow’s friendly match against Raith Rovers.

Welcome to Bayview Jacob!
