We are delighted to announce the signing of defender Aaron Taylor-Sinclair, who joins the club after leaving Falkirk, subject to SFA approval.

31-year-old Taylor-Sinclair can operate in a number of positions in the backline, and brings considerable experience to the squad having featured for a host of clubs around the UK, including Partick Thistle, Wigan Athletic, Plymouth Argyle and Livingston.

The Aberdeen-born defender has also been capped by Carribbean national side Antigua and Barbuda, qualifying for selection through family.

After being named as a trialist in Airdrie’s last two match squads, Aaron put pen to paper tonight and told airdriefc.com: “I’m just happy to get it all sorted. I’ve been in three weeks now, training with the lads and getting to meet the manager and the coaching staff.

“I’ve had quite a decent career and it’s quite a young squad here, so I’ll bring some experience and obviously play some games and help the club out.”

Manager Rhys McCabe added: “Sinky’s come in and looked good, and he’ll bring valuable experience. We’re a young squad, so we’ve spoken to him about what we expect him to bring as a senior pro.

“He’s got that versatility, it’s a real plus for us that he can play in two or three positions, and especially in an area that we were looking for a signing anyway.”

Welcome to the Diamonds, Aaron!
