Nairn County can confirm that midfielder Jamie Williamson has joined us on loan until the end of the season.
He will follow in the footsteps of his Ross County team mates Andrew Macleod and George Robesten, who spent successful loan spells with us last season.
Jamie is a 17-year-old with a handful of appearances for Ross County already under his belt.
He arrives at Station Park having been a part of the Staggies’ squad for pre-season and the group stages of Premier Sports Cup.
Manager Ross Tokely was delighted to bring the talented teen to Station Park. He said: “Jamie is really highly thought of at Ross County and that shows with him having made his debut for them in a really high stakes match in the final of the playoffs when he was only 16.
“They have high hopes for him and we are thrilled to have him for the season. He is a player I have been aware of for a few years and I have seen him play recently for Ross County during their pre-season this summer where he has done really well.
“Obviously, Andrew and George both had good spells with the club last season and have gone from strength to strength with Andrew appearing in the starting team for Ross County in the Premier Sports Cup. Hopefully, Jamie can follow the same path and come here and play regular football, find his feet in the adult game quickly and show everyone what a talented player he is.
“He plays centrally in the middle of the park, which is an area we have been looking to strengthen and when a player of Jamie’s capabilities became available, we jumped at the chance to take him to the club.”
He added: “I would also like to thank Don Cowie and Stevie Ferguson at Ross County for trusting us with this stage of Jamie’s development and hopefully it is a move which has great benefits for all parties.”
Jamie made his Ross County debut in the second leg of their televised playoff final against Partick Thistle in April 2023. He has made one competitive appearance for the Staggies so far this season, coming off the bench in the 3-1 win at Stranraer in the Premier Sports Cup. He goes straight into the squad for tomorrow’s visit of Brechin City to Station Park pending Scottish FA approval.
In other news, Harry Hennem has left the club. The attacking midfielder is due to relocate to England. He made 16 appearances for us, scoring three times after joining from Inverness CT in January.
Manager Ross Tokely said: “We all wish Harry the best with his move. He is a good player and a good person as well and I really hope things work out for him. I would like to thank him for his services to the club during his time with us.”
Jamie Williamson is available to sponsor for the season. Interested? Email info@nairncountyfc.co.uk or drop us a message on Social Media for more info.
