    Dundee have signed midfielder Ryan Finnigan from Blackpool for an undisclosed fee.

    The 22-year-old made 10 appearances for Blackpool last season, either side of a 26-game loan spell at Walsall, where he scored four goals.

    "Ryan is a player that we have pursued and monitored for the past 12 months and is has taken a lot of hard work from our recruitment team," manager Steven Pressley told club media.

    "We also know there was strong interest in Ryan from other clubs in England, so we are obviously delighted to finally get him in the building.

    "He most recently had a very successful loan at Walsall where I was able to witness first hand when watching my son, his qualities. He is a player we believe has a huge ceiling."
