Defender Malcolm signs for Forfar

Forfar Athletic have signed defender Stuart Malcolm, whose last club was Irish League outfit Finn Harps.

The 29-year-old, who was in his second spell in Irish football, had joined Harps from Shelbourne in 2008.

He began his career with St Johnstone and moved on to Plymouth, Ross County and then on to Ireland.

Malcolm played for Drogheda and Dublin City before returning to Scotland with Alloa Athletic and Montrose before heading for Shelbourne.

Third Division Forfar have already signed defenders Iain Campbell and David Mowat, midfielder Kevin Fotheringham and striker Chris Templeman this summer.
