Cowdenbeath have confirmed the signing of midfielder Jack Allan from Dundee North End.

The 25-year-old will join the club once his current deal expires.

Allan, who began his career at Dundee United Academy, has also played for Forfar Athletic and Forfar West End.

He joined Dundee North End in 2020.

Mr Allan said: "I’m really looking forward to challenging myself in a competitive Lowland League.

"Coming off the back of winning two league titles in the Midlands League, I’m aiming to bring the same winning mentality to Cowdenbeath.

"I am keen to get started and work with Paul McLean in playing the style of football he wants his team to play.

"I’m am looking forward to pre-season and hopefully I can help Cowden have a successful season.

"My thanks also go to football operations director, Colin Nelson, for helping with the arrangements."

Manager Paul McLean is confident Allan will be a valuable addition to the team.

He said: "This was a deal that was arranged before I took the job but I feel it’s a really shrewd signing by the club for Jack is a type of player I think we lacked last year.

"He is someone who will probably go under the radar for the work he does.

"A centre midfielder who breaks up play, good on the ball and covers every blade of grass.

"I have met him a couple of times now and is the exact type of guy I want in the changing room.

"Someone who wants to be here and improve as a player.

"I’m looking forward to working with him."

Colin Nelson added: "Jack is someone that we have tracked for a good couple of years and finally managed to get him in.

"He's off the back of a successful period with Dundee North End.

"He was hungry for a new challenge and felt we were the right option.

"He's the type of player we want at this club and I look forward to seeing him in a Cowden strip."
