Tranmere Rovers have snapped up Ross Doohan for an undisclosed fee from Celtic.
The goalkeeper helped Rovers earn 21 clean sheets in League Two last season, the joint best in the division, whilst on loan at Prenton Park and now signs a two-year contract with the club with the option of another.
The 24-year-old has been at Celtic since 2016 and has enjoyed various loan spells gaining vital first-team experience.
Doohan now pens a contract at Prenton Park until at least the summer of 2024.
After returning to Tranmere, Ross said: “I’m really pleased to get it all sorted now. I really enjoyed it here last season so I feel this is a great step in my career.
“I know how the Club works and the stature of it with the training facilities, the stadium and the fan base. Having a great relationship with the Gaffer and with Joe Murphy was another big factor for me.
“I didn’t take much convincing at all, as soon as I heard that there was interest I wanted to come back. I can’t wait to get going again.”
Manager Micky Mellon added: “We’re delighted to bring Ross in permanently. He’s a fantastic young goalkeeper and someone who we know very well.
“We know what qualities he can bring to the group and we believe that he can keep improving and developing here with us. We’re really looking forward to working with him again.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
