We have today completed the signing of Shaun Want on a one-year deal from Ayr United.

The 29-year-old defender joined Hamilton Accies at the age of ten and spent 13 years going through the youth ranks there before moving to Northern Ireland. 

During a three year spell with Larne he enjoyed European football before returning to Scotland and signing on at Somerset Park last year.

Manager Nicky Clark said “We are delighted to welcome Shaun to the squad. We have seen over the past few weeks that we need experience within the side. The boys who have played have given everything but we just need that older head to help them along. Having played at a decent level, Shaun will bring that and will hopefully be a great addition to the side.”

Shaun himself added “I heard about the opportunity a few weeks ago and had a good chat with the Gaffer so I’m excited to have the chance to come and play, hopefully as many games as possible to help the team. I’m a defender who enjoys defending, doing the dirty side of the game and I take pride in keeping clean sheets. We are a young side so I hope to use my experience to help the younger boys”
