JANUARY LOAN UPDATE

As the January transfer window opens, the situation of a few of our Academy graduates who have been out on loan for the first half of the season is changing.

Defender Ross Graham will return to Tannadice after a successful spell with Dunfermline Athletic, where the 20-year-old has racked up over 700 minutes of first-team action.

Shaun Brown has flourished in the Lowland League for Cumbernauld Colts, his goal tally for the season standing at four, and will extend his stay in North Lanarkshire for a further six months.

Young Terrors goalkeeper Ruairidh Adams has split his time between Lothian Hutchison Vale and Ryan Moon's Under-18s and will continue to do so, elongating his loan spell until the end of the season.

Spartans duo Finn Robson and Jack Newman will both return to Tannadice, whilst Rhys Caves' and Nathan Cooney's loan spells at Airdrieonians and Elgin City respectively also conclude after only departing on short-term deals.
