Inverness Caledonian Thistle boss John Robertson pointed to Shane Sutherland’s “very impressive” goal record, as the club officially announced the striker’s pre-contract agreement.
Sutherland, 29, who has 23 goals this season, will return to former club Caley Thistle from League Two Elgin City in the summer
Robertson said: “We’ve signed Shane Sutherland on a pre-contract agreement. Shane is a player the club know well, I’ve seen him over the years and I think he deserves an opportunity at a higher level.”
“You look at Shane’s goal record, it’s very impressive. He’s a local lad, he’s hungry, he wants to get back to full-time football. He’s lost his way in terms of full-time football and he realises this is a marvellous opportunity for him.”
“He’s still an Elgin City player at the moment and we’ve emphasised the point that he has to put everything on the back-burner and work extremely hard for Elgin from now until the end of the season.”
