RORY MACLEOD JOINS FORFAR ATHLETIC ON SHORT-TERM LOAN

Dundee United can confirm Academy graduate Rory MacLeod has joined Forfar Athletic on a short-term loan, subject to SFA approval.

Our youngest-ever player, Rory has already made 25 appearances for the first team, including starts against Celtic, Ross County and Livingston.

Last week, the frontman was rewarded with his Scotland Under-19s debut in Hasselt.

The 17-year-old joins the Loons until January, who currently sit seventh in League Two after five matches, and is in line to feature in their clash with The Spartans this weekend.

Rory also reunites with former colleagues Adam Hutchinson, Finn Robson and Darren Watson at Station Park.

Everyone at Dundee United wishes Rory all the best with his loan stint, and we look forward to his return to Tannadice.
