Former Caley Thistle attacking midfielder Kenny McInnes has scored a move to League 2 Elgin City.
The 18-year-old was on loan at Highland League club Forres Mechanics from the Scottish Championship side last season.
However, the Moray club have moved to land the talented teenager ahead of this weekend’s four-team tournament at Borough Briggs to celebrate 100 years of City playing at the ground.
McInnes is the third summer signing by manager Gavin Price following former Cove Rangers defender Jevan Anderson and Jeanfield Swift centre half Jake Dolzanski.
