The midfield duo have featured heavily for Nairn County Reserves Team in the North Caledonian League this season.

McConaghy (21) debuted for Nairn County in 2018 and has made 61 appearances for the club and scored five times.

Williamson (18) made his debut last season and has appeared 30 times for the club, also scoring five goals.

Nairn County manager Steven Mackay said: "Seamus and Rory are both at the stage where they need regular football in the Highland League to kick-on with their careers and move to the next stage of their development.

"Going to Strathspey until the end of the season gives them the opportunity to go out and get a run of games at this level, although it will be challenging for them and there are no guarantees - it is down to them to go there and earn a place in the team.

"Brian Ritchie is back as manager there and is always keen to promote young players, so we know the boys are in good hands and it is up to them to make the most of it."
