JIM JEFFERIES, the Dunfermline manager, was last night in the process of completing a deal to sign former Motherwell defender Jonathan Page.
The 23-year-old left Morton by mutual consent yesterday, freeing him to make the move to Fife.
Page has verbally agreed to switch to East End Park and it is believed that it is just the length of his deal which is to be formally sorted out.
Jefferies was reluctant to confirm the identity of his new recruit, but it is understood Page will be unveiled as a Dunfermline player today.
"He is an experienced player, certainly in terms of playing in the Premier League and making a lot of appearances in the second tier," Jefferies coyly said of the not-so-mystery man. "Both parties have agreed that he will cover us at least until the end of the season, but he might be here longer."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
