United's bid to sign promising Arbroath youngster Andy Webster progressed on Monday when Manager Alex Smith met the player and his agent.
Over the weekend the clubs agreed a five figure fee for the 18-year-old centre-half and, under the terms of the deal, Webster would stay at Gayfield for the remainder of this campaign. "He is in the middle of a promotion push and we would be happy for him to sign a pre-contract agreement with us and stay there until the end of his contract with Arbroath," explained Alex. If personal terms are agreed, the signing should be concluded in the next few days.
