Malky Mackay is confident that he has recruited a striker “in his prime years” after 27-year-old Dominic Samuel joined Ross County.

The former England Under-19 player has signed for the Scottish Premiership outfit from Gillingham on a two-year deal.

The deal is subject to international clearance and Staggies boss Mackay told the club’s official website: “We are delighted to bring someone of Dominic’s experience and calibre to Ross County.

“He has been a regular goalscorer in English football and brings a new dynamic to our club.

“We have tracked Dominic for a period of time- following his development and we are excited by his potential.

“At 27, we are signing a striker in his prime years and we look forward to bringing the best out of him here.

“Dominic adds competition to the forward area, as well as a footballing pedigree that brings excitement at the top end of the pitch.”
