“Once I was made aware that Blair could be an option for us to sign we immediately made contact with him.” former Scotland full-back Naysmith said. “He will add another dimension to our current midfield options.

“Blair took a few days to speak to all of the clubs interested in signing him. I look forward to working with him in the coming season and beyond.”

Stenny won their opening League One match last weekend, defeating title favourites Arbroath 2-0 to get off the perfect start in the third tier.
