Brechin City in transfer coup as ex-Hearts kid handed 'one hell of a player' tag from new boss

Brechin City have snapped up former Hearts youngster Anthony McDonald.

The 21-year-old has put pen to paper on a two-year deal with his new boss Andy Kirk describing him as a 'one hell of a player'. During his time at Tynecastle he made a total of 25 appearances and appeared as a trailist in the victory over Formartine United at the weekend. McDonald - who has also turned out for both Inverness Caley Thistle and Dunfermline - has played for Scotland at both Under-16 and U-17 level during his career to date. He also spent time in Spain with Cordoba following his release from Hearts before a return back home.

Back in January 2022, he joined Edinburgh City - now known as FC Edinburgh - on a short-term deal and helped them secure a play-off spot with the capital club going on to gain promotion to Scottish League One.
