From the Inverness Courier, it looks like we can offer existing players contract extensions even though we're still in administration.

According to the P&J, Danny Devine is the first to say publicly that he intends to stay.

The jigsaw pieces are fitting together nicely.

Brilliant bit of business. Cautious optimism that by Christmas we will be on positive points....

Given we start on - 5 I’m hoping we will be in positive territory by mid August 😂😂

Excellent news today and we do seem to be getting a decent squad together early which gives them time together before the serious business starts.

A recognised striker next please 👍🏻

Genius. 

An excellent signing for us, things are taking shape nicely

Yep,

Invention, ability, experience and game wise. Might not be as sharp as he was (Dunfermline seemed to be a wrong team (football-wise) for his game. But the short period he spent with us before leaving for DU left some good markers (couldn’t have been the manager or CEO), allowing Wotherspoon to weigh up a return. Expect the deal will allow him to spend most is the week at his home in the central belt. 
Simply delighted and looking forward to a player of this talent in our colours again!

Agree, but it sets a poor precedent and potentially ill feeling with other players.

Personally, I sit in the camp that would say that if a player wants to be here, then they need to commit to properly moving here.

Terry Butcher, arguably the best recruiter we've ever had (via Steve Marsela), was very strict on this. He had a formula for recruitment that went way beyond ability on the pitch, and it's no surprise a good few of his signings still live in, and are involved with, football in the area.

I mean yeah, it's not ideal and you really want players coming who buy into the club and the area.

 

However, with the clubs financial situation, the outrageous cost of housing, lack of availabile housing and our position in the football pyramid, I think we need to look at all availabile options going forward.

Given that he said in his interview that it was going to be hard on his family, I think he will be up for the majority if not the whole week.

Jordan Alonge has signed from Forres on a one year deal. 

Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Jordan Alonge on an initial 1 year deal on a permanent transfer from Forres Mechanics, subject to SFA clearance. 

Jordan, 26 years-old, is from England and spent time playing with football academies before moving to America .

He spent two years at Baker University in Kansas City and three more at Fairleigh Dickenson University in New Jersey. Jordan then played in Canada for Thunder Bay Chill in the USL League 2. 

Jordan then moved to Scotland, playing for Rothes and Forres Mechanics in the Highland League. Jordan was named the Forres Mechanics Player of the Year last season and scored 14 goals. 

Welcome Jordan. Do we know the transfer fee? 

Kells being very cautious about any new signing.  He is probably still hoping Aberdeen sign a few more experienced players thus freeing up Bavidge. Who knows but it is re-assuring that there is no panic to get the right signing, if possible. Maybe Jordan White on loan!!

Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC are delighted to confirm the signing of winger Liam Sole on loan from Livingston until January 2026, subject to SFA clearance.

Liam, 25 years-old, started his career at MK Dons and has short loan spell with St Albans City before joining Nottingham Forest. He then returned to St Albans City for 2022/23. 

Sole signed for Maidstone United ahead of the 2023/2024 season, and was part of the side that knocked then English Championship side Ipswich Town out of the FA Cup in January 2024, becoming the lowest ranked side in the English football pyramid since 1978 to reach the last 16 of the FA Cup. 

Liam then signed a pre-contract with Livingston for season 2024/25 and was part of the squad which won the Scottish Challenge Cup and promotion to the Scottish Premiership. 

We’d like to thank Livingston FC for their assistance with this matter.

Welcome to Inverness, Liam!

Here is the full spiel from the official page: Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC is delighted to welcome David Proctor back to the club as our new physiotherapist.

David is a familiar face at the Caledonian Stadium, having played for the club in two spells between 2004 and 2006 and between 2007 and 2009.

David also played for Dundee United, Airdrie, FC Edmonton and East Kilbride, where he also was assistant manager. He has also been Manager at Lowland League side Cumbernauld Colts.

In 2019, he graduated from Glasgow Caledonian University with a First Class Honours degree in Physiotherapy.

David is getting settled in with his new role and will speak to ictfc.com in the coming weeks about his role at the club.

I always felt David would have been a first class defensive midfielder, rather than the right-mid, right-back, central defender he was.

I always liked having Proctor in the squad. A real utility player and played his part well.

Alfie Stewart back on loan until January! Bavidge next?? 👀

Still need a striker though! overrun with midfielders at the mo.

One step at a time! At the beginning of last season we were overrun with defenders. This season it's midfielders. I expect next season we'll be banging the goals in because we're overrun with strikers 😂

Quite a remarkable day so far and in complete contrast to the start of last season and subsequent plunge into administration. We are very fortunate so far as to how things are beginning to improve.

New signing today!

Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC are delighted to announce the permanent transfer of defender Oscar MacIntyre from Hibernian FC, on an initial 1-year deal subject to SFA clearance.

Oscar, 20 years-old, predominately a left back but can also play right back. He signed for the Hibernian Academy in 2019 from fellow Edinburgh side The Spartans. He signed his first professional contract with the Hibees in 2021 and he made his first team debut in May 2022.  

While at Hibs, Oscar had two loan spells with League One side Queen of the South both last season and previously for the first half of season 2023-24. He spent the second half of 2023-24 on loan at Annan Athletic.
