The former Scotland under-21 international spent last season on loan at Falkirk, scoring 11 goals in 38 appearances for the club.

York have also bolstered their ranks with the signing of goalkeeper Rory Watson, who was born in the city but cut his teeth in the academies of Leeds United and Hull City.

The former Wrexham stopper only joined Doncaster Rovers earlier this month, but he had penned a short-term deal and his time at the club has already come to an end.
