BELL BECOMES A TERROR

Dundee United today confirmed goalkeeper Cammy Bell has signed, subject to clearance, a contract securing him with the Club until the summer of 2018. The Scotland international, who won his first cap against the Faroe Islands in 2010, becomes Manager Ray McKinnon’s second signing as he rebuilds the Terrors squad ahead of this season’s Ladbrokes Championship. Cammy joins United after his release from Rangers where he played a major part in the Glasgow club winning the Scottish league One title in 2013–14. Manager Ray McKinnon said, “The goalkeeper position is an important area for us and Cammy is a fantastic goalkeeper with a tremendous reputation but I needed to be patient because Cammy was contracted to another club. Today is the result of a lot of hard work and effort. "He is the right age, a Scottish internationalist and I am delighted to get him. I am determined to bring in the right characters and the right calibre of player and this is my second signing, alongside Stewart Murdoch, where I have ticked those boxes. “There was a lot of interest in Cammy and even a last minute attempt to hijack the deal from a Premiership club but he stuck to his decision to come to United and that says everything about him as a person. I hope to bring more new faces in within the next week also.” Cammy Bell said, “After I spoke to the new gaffer here he sold me the Club and what he wants to achieve. The passion and determination he showed when I met him convinced me this was the right place for me. “Dundee United are a massive club and I want to be part of what we are building. There are some fantastic players here and some fantastic targets the Gaffer wants to bring in. It will be a tough league but the pressure that brings is an enjoyable one and something we have to deal with on a weekly basis. I want to get back playing after a difficult time with injury and I want to get back involved in the Scotland set-up. “I am sure the fans will back us and we can go forward together and be successful. The hard work starts on Thursday and we have to earn the right to get back up to the Ladbrokes Premiership. I am hungry to get back playing and delighted to be doing so for Dundee United.” An exclusive interview with Cammy is available on ArabZONE.
