Aodhan Doherty has joined Falkirk on a season-long loan as the Northern Ireland Under-21 winger signed a new four-year contract with Blackburn Rovers. The 20-year-old had played 14 times for Linfield in Northern Ireland's top flight before joining the Championship club last summer and made his first-team debut for Rovers against Hull city in the FA Cup in January, before featuring in three league games later the same month. Falkirk manager John McGlynn says Doherty is not just a straight replacement on the left for Calvin Miller, who was sold to Hearts this summer, as he can play as a number 10 as well as out wide.
Manager Alfred Johansson says Motherwell have signed an "attack-minded and exciting defender" in Dylan Williams. The 22-year-old has joined the Fir Park side from Burton Albion for an undisclosed fee, penning a two-year deal with the club holding the option of a further year. The former Chelsea and Derby youth player is eligible for Motherwell's Conference League second-round qualifier against Faroese outfit HB.
