Longridge joins Stranraer

Stranraer have signed full-back Jackson Longridge from Ayr United.

The 19-year-old left-sided defender, brother of Hamilton star Louis, started off at St Mirren before playing in Ayr United’s youth programme and graduating to the first team.

Blues boss Stephen Aitken said: “I have received a lot of good reports about Jackson and I am looking forward to working with him. I am sure he will progress into a regular first-team footballer at Stranraer.”
