MORTON have today confirmed the signing of Airdrie defender Cammy Ballantyne on a two-year deal.
The full-back joins the Ton following the expiration of his contract after two seasons at fellow Championship side Airdrieonians.
Ballantyne, 28, comes to Cappielow along with Welsh striker Jordan Davies as manager Dougie Imrie looks to bolster a first-team squad that has been depleted by the departures of four key players this summer.
Robbie Crawford, Robbie Muirhead, George Oakley and Lewis Strapp have all decided to move on.
Welcoming the new signing, Imrie said: “Cammy is an extremely versatile defender who has impressed me whenever I have seen him play.
✍️ Welcome to Morton, Cammy Ballantyne!
