Thistle sign trio

Thistle boss John Lambie has snapped up Jamie Buchan, Ricky Waddell and Billy Brawley.

Buchan arrives from Dundee United after struggling to secure regular first team football at Tannadice and has signed a one-year deal.

Flying winger Waddell has been lured from Falkirk on a two-year contract while Lambie has also signed teenage defensive midfielder Brawley after he was released by Motherwell.

Lambie was pleased with the new additions to his squad and is optimistic that they will prove valuable acquisitions.

"It is good to be able to bring in some new players," Lambie told the club's official website. 

"Jamie Buchan has played in the Premier League and that is bound to be important in the coming season while I was impressed with what I saw of Waddell last season. 

"Billy also comes with a high regard and that is good for the future of this club.  I have initially signed the two younger lads for the Under 21 squad, but they are certainly hopeful of pushing their way into my plans for the first team and it is that attitude I like."
