Attacking midfielder Yan Dhanda has become Malky Mackay’s second summer addition at Ross County.

The Englishman, 23, most recently with Swansea City, joins the Scottish Premiership club just hours after Canadian midfielder Victor Loturi signed for the Staggies.

Manager Mackay, won the competitive race for Dhanda, believes the player, who spent five years as a youth at Liverpool, will be the great fit for the Highland club.

Ross County manager Malky Mackay.

Dhanda is excited about making the move to Scottish football.

He said: “I am happy to be here and buzzing to get going.

“I think the fans will see a player who is very creative who always wants to go forward.

“I want to make things happen and hopefully I’m quite exciting to watch.”

The attacker said Staggies manager Mackay convinced him to make the switch to Dingwall.

He said: “I had multiple conversations with the manager.

“Of the options I had I felt he was right for me at this moment in time.

“I wanted to come up here and play for him after so many positive conversations.

“The manager is the main factor for me coming here.

“I also watched games from last season and I saw how well they did under the manager.

“People speak so highly of him and it made a lot of sense to come here and play under the manager.”

Beginning at West Bromwich Albion, Dhanda’s performances as a youngster led to him joining Liverpool’s prestigious academy in 2013.

During his time in Merseyside, he displayed fine performances for his youth teams, which resulted in him being called up for England at various youth levels.

In his final year at Liverpool, he put in impressive Premier League 2 displays before joining Championship side, Swansea.

During his time in Wales, Dhanda – who scored on his debut – made 62 appearances for the Swans.

‘Exciting chapter’ for Yan and club

Mackay is delighted to have secured the services of the player on a two-year contract.

He said: “We are absolutely thrilled to bring Yan to Dingwall. Yan is a player that our recruitment department have targeted for a period of time.

“Over the past few months, I have had some really positive dialogue with both Yan and his advisors, and we are delighted to now have him joining us.”

“Yan’s talent will certainly complement our group, and we also feel he is a great fit for what we are trying to build here and the culture we have created.

“When you look at the journey Yan has had to date, we are getting a player of real quality that has worked with some of the best and this is a new exciting chapter for Yan and Ross County.”

There could be more business to come this week for County fans ahead of the squad’s training week in Verona, Italy.

The Highlanders have been linked to Sheffield United goalkeeper Jake Eastwood, 25.
