Ross County have signed Michael Gardyne on a two-year deal following his departure from Dundee United.
The 29-year-old helped the Staggies avoid relegation while on loan in the season just ended and the former Celtic player has now signed a permanent deal.
Long-serving defender Scott Boyd, who was previously with Livingston and Partick Thistle, has also signed a new two-year contract with the Dingwall club.
Manager Jim McIntyre told the club website: "Both players have played an important role in the team this season which has helped us achieve our goal and retain our SPFL status."
