Dodds in, Forsyth out at Dens

Dundee have signed midfielder Rhian Dodds from Kilmarnock and farmed out defender Craig Forsyth to Arbroath.

The two loan deals have been completed ahead of this weekend's fixtures.

Dodds, 28, is in line to face St Johnstone in Division One, while the 19-year-old Forsyth could play against Stranraer in Division Two.

Neither have featured for their parent clubs this season, but Dodds will help Dundee fill the void after another injury setback for Colin Cameron.

Dodds, born in Canada, has failed to become a first-team regular at Rugby Park since joining Kilmarnock in 2003 after leaving Robert Morris University.

He did not play the required number of games to trigger an automatic contract extension at the end of last season but was handed a short-term deal until December.

Forsyth played 10 times while on loan to Third Division outfit Montrose last season.
