The club is pleased to announce that stand-off Ross Aitken has joined the ranks at Myreside.

The 20-year-old moves south from Howe of Fife where he has been a key part of their side in the last two years. In 2009 he scored 19 points on debut for Scotland under-19 against Italy.

Head coach Marcus Di Rollo said: “Ross has been training with us and looks like a talented player.

"I am looking forward to working with him over the coming months.”

The news comes hot on the heels of the confirmation that props Doufie Orr and Craig Owenson will be playing in maroon and white in 2010/11. Keep an eye on the website over the coming weeks for more news of player arrivals.

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that Max Learmonth has left to join Heriot’s.

Centre/wing Learmonth moved to Watsonians two years ago from hometown club Berwick and played for the Scotland under-19s in 2008/09.
