PARTICK THISTLE manager Alan Archibald has landed his third summer signing after capturing former Liverpool winger David Amoo.
The Firhill side saw off competition from a number of English League One clubs to secure the 24-year-old on a one-year deal.
Amoo joins after being released by Carlisle at the end of last season.
He started his career as a youth player with Millwall but moved to Liverpool in 2007 aged just 16 after Anfield bosses spotted his potential.
But he struggled to make the step up and while he was part of their Champions League squad back in 2009, he made just one first-team appearance in a Europa League tie against Macedonians FK Rabotnicki 12 months later.
Loan stints with MK Dons, Hull and Bury did give him a taste for top-team action and after leaving Liverpool in July 20 he had stints with Preston and Tranmere before moving to Carlisle in July 2013.
Although he was named Player of the Year by his colleagues at the end of his first season at Brunton Park, he could not prevent the Cumbrians' relegation to League Two and he was axed by boss Keith Curle last month following another disappointing campaign.
