Fitzpatrick closing in on deal at Queen's

Defender set to net contract at Palmerston

Former Motherwell and Ross County defender Mark Fitzpatrick, is hoping that his first 65 minutes of playing action since Boxing Day will be enough to earn him a short term deal with Second Division leaders Queen of the South.

Mark FitzpatrickThe 26-year-old played as a trialist for the Doonhamers in their 1-1 draw with Arbroath at the weekend and Fitzpatrick said: “That was my first game since I played on Boxing Day with Ross County. I have been training with Queen’s for a while and was an unused substitute against Ayr the week before.”

“Hopefully I have done enough to get a deal until the end of the season as there a lot of good players here and staying full time is an attractive option.”
