Inverness Caledonian Thistle linked with potential return of former Canada international back to the club
INVERNESS Caledonian Thistle have been linked with a move for former player David Wotherspoon to make a return to the club.
The Daily Record have reported that the 35-year-old could be a target for head coach Scott Kellacher as he looks to add experience to his squad ahead of the new League One season.
Wotherspoon signed a short-term deal with Inverness in October 2023 in what was former manager Duncan Ferguson’s first signing for the club.
He became a fans favourite during his time with Inverness, scoring four goals in 10 appearances. He left the club in January 2024 after turning down a contract to remain at the club.
Wotherspoon went on to sign for Dundee United who won the Championship that season and were promoted to the Premiership. He left Dundee United to join Dunfermline Athletic last season when he helped the Pars to seventh place in the Championship.
He left Dunfermline Athletic at the end of last season and is reported to have been on an SFA coaching course.
During his career, Wotherspoon, who was born in Perth, also made 13 international appearances for Canada, qualifying to play for them through his mother.
Inverness Caledonian Thistle have already made a number of signings since coming out of administration following their success with a company voluntary arrangement.
Among the new additions to the squad include goalkeepers Ross Munro and Logan Ross along with full back Ross Millen and midfielder Joe Chalmers.
Meanwhile yesterday, Inverness Caledonian Thistle Under-19’s ran out 4-1 winners at Highland League club Strathspey Thistle in a friendly in Grantown On Spey.
Ben Gardiner gave Inverness the lead, with trialist and Dominican Republic international Carlos Heredia scoring twice along with a strike from Sam Thompson putting them 4-0 up.
Former Inverness player Aaron Doran pulled one back for Strathspey. He is set to receive a testimonial from Inverness against Ross County next month.
