Airdrieonians FC are delighted to announce the signing of promising Australian winger Jacob Esposito on a deal until the end of the season.

​

The versatile 20-year-old starred for Maccabi Hakoah in his homeland and was available as a free agent after a stint at Livingston fell through following the sacking of former Lions boss Mark Burchill.

​

Jet-paced Jacob got a run-out in the 7-1 Under-20s friendly win over junior side Forth Wanderers on Monday night and his performance there and his form in first team training has won him a chance at the Diamonds.

​

Esposito came highly recommended to the club after glowing reports from former Rangers and Scotland midfielder Gavin Rae who played alongside him in Sydney.

​

He will now embark on a quickfire fitness stint to get himself in peak condition to push for a top team slot.
