Welcome to Balmoor Mitch and Blair! ๐ตโช๏ธ๐
Peterhead FC are delighted to announce that we have added two players of quality and experience to our team - Mitch Megginson and Blair Yule. Both players have signed two year deals and will join the squad on termination of their contracts with Cove Rangers, subject to SFA approval.
From Co-Manager Ryan Strachan: "First of all we are delighted to welcome both Blair Yule and Mitch Megginson to Peterhead Football Club. The additions of both these top north players is not only a statement but demonstrates our commitment as a club to continue to improve. Both players have significant caliber and respect within the Scottish leagues and also experience of how to push at the top end of this league and ultimately beyond also. Having played with both for a number of years, our club is gaining not only extra ability but great leadership qualities that can help drive us on. Both are outstanding professionals and that was shown by their commitment to Cove and how professional they remained throughout the process.
Both players need no mentioning but with Mitch weโre gaining another goal threat to support what we already have, heโs a top attacker consistently getting goals in all divisions across Scotland for a number of years now. Heโs clever, sharp and takes the ball in very well. He also drifts into foreign areas for defenders creating overloads for his teammates.
In Blair, heโs been a top midfielder in this league and still to this day is operating at the highest level. Comfortable with the ball, athletic and a really good eye for a forward pass. Blair also reads the game very well breaking up attacks regularly not through physicality but his in-game IQ.
Welcome both and we look forward to working with you shortly" ๐ค

Josh commits to PFC! โ๏ธ
Peterhead FC are delighted to announce that defender Josh Kerr has signed a new two-year deal with the club.
Since arriving in December, Josh has been a stable and steadying influence at the back, bringing calmness, composure and consistency to the side. His presence in defence has been a major asset, and weโre pleased to have him with us for the next two years.
Congratulations @Joshkerr5! ๐ตโช๏ธ๐
๐ฌ "Iโm delighted to sign. Iโve really enjoyed my football since coming in late December, and I feel like Iโve settled in well.
I can see thereโs something really good building here that I want to be a part of. The management team have been great with me since day one, and thatโs made a big difference.
Iโm looking forward to the next couple of years and hopefully we can achieve some good things together" - Josh Kerr
Peterhead are 5 games without defeat, and unbeaten away from home since December!
An excellent 0-2 over Queen of the South continues their great form, with goals from Kieran Shanks and Jason Brown.
The Blue Toon are now just 4 points behind the promotion playoffs ๐
Peterhead FC can confirm that defender David Wilson has left the club by mutual consent.
David came to PFC in 2021 and has been a hugely likeable and well-respected member of the squad during his time at Balmoor, earning the respect of teammates and staff alike through his professionalism, attitude and commitment to the club.
He played an important role in last seasonโs League Two title-winning campaign, making a valuable contribution to a memorable and successful year for the club. Unfortunately, ongoing injury issues have disrupted his time this season and prevented him from quite finding the consistency, rhythm and game time he would have hoped for.
David departs with the sincere thanks and best wishes of everyone at Peterhead FC. We wish him every success in the next stage of his career, both on and off the pitch ๐ตโช๏ธ๐
"I've really enjoyed my time at Peterhead and what we achieved together last year is something I'll never forget but now is the right time for myself and the club to move on. I've met so many good people during my time here and want to wish everyone connected with Peterhead the very best for the future" - Div
Welcome to Balmoor @Joshkerr5! ๐ตโช๏ธ๐
Peterhead FC is delighted to announce the signing of defender Josh Kerr. The former Airdrieonians, Cove Rangers and Stirling Albion centre-back joins the club for the remainder of the season.
๐ฌ โItโs brilliant to be able to add Josh to the group at a key stage of the season for us. He comes with a really good pedigree and adds more experience in an important area of the pitch where we have been light on options at times. There is no hiding from the fact we have conceded too many goals and adding Joshโs League One experience to this can help the guys who are already getting stronger. Being versatile is also a strong attribute, especially when we have been pretty fluid in the shape we have adopted. January is notoriously difficult to add the quality and improvements that we want so this one is a great start, he has been on our radar for a while now and Jamie has played an important role in keeping in touch. Josh chose a different career path in the summer which seen him not play for the first months of this season but he is hungry and excited to get back involved and we are delighted he has chosen ourselves. At 27, he is a great age to hit his peak and all going well he will train this week and be in the squad for Cove on Saturday" - Jordon Brown
