Falkirk land Dundee United’s Edjenguele on loan

William Edjenguele has signed on loan at Westfield.

The Paris-born centre-back will join until the end of the season and is re-united with his former Tannadice boss Ray McKinnon who brought him to Scotland in 2016.

McKinnon had been open in his hope to add a striker and a defender before Thursday’s transfer deadline in what has been another huge turnaround of players at the Bairns.

The defender joins his former team-mate Paul Dixon too, and doesn’t have to wait for his first Falkirk goal – he turned in a Myles Hippolyte effort past his own goalkeeper dutring a meeting between the sides in September 2016.

Edjenguele has also played for Neuchatel Xamax in Switzerland as well as Bury and Coventry City.
