A number of young Ross County players who spent the first half of the season out on loan have seen their temporary moves extended until the end of the 2023/24 campaign.

Central defender Connall Ewan is the member of the group currently plying his trade at the highest level, having made 17 appearances for League Two outfit Elgin City and scoring twice to date.

One tier below, goalkeeper Logan Ross will not miss out on the chance to win his first piece of silverware in the postponed Highland League Cup final, as his deal with Brora Rangers is another to be renewed.

Similarly, both Andrew Macleod and George Robesten will stay at Nairn County – where both teenagers have excelled with regular minutes and goals to their names – until the summer.

Finally, a touch closer to home in Dingwall, Zach Macphee will remain at Clachnacuddin, where the County under-18s squad member has had his first taste of senior football in the Highland League.

From the Staggies' perspective, it is hoped that extending the loan deals will see all of the young players concerned continue to develop along the path to potentially playing in Ross County's first team.

"It is great that the boys will be spending the second half of the season back out on loan following on from a successful first half of the season," County loan manager and head of professional academy Carl Tremarco said.

"It's another step for them in their development and we wish them all the best at their respective clubs."
