Three Inverness Caley Thistle teenagers sign professional contracts with club for 2023/24 campaign

Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC have announced that three academy graduates have signed deals with the club.

Shae Keogh, Szymon Rebilas and Ben Corner have all signed deals for season 2024/25 after being involved in matchday squads throughout pre-season and the League Cup group stage.

Keogh, 17 years-old, is a midfielder and attended Nairn Academy, joining Caley Thistle when he was seven years old.

Rebilas, 16 years-old, is a goalkeeper and attended Millburn Academy, entering the ICT set-up when he was 11 years old.

Corner, 17 years-old, is a forward and attended Lochaber High School, also beginning to travel to the Highland capital for training with the club when he was 11 years old.

The deals are reflective of the make-up of Caley Thistle’s squad for this season, which is largely made up of youth players getting their first crack at senior football.

Manager Duncan Ferguson, though, is optimistic that the club will be able to sign a slightly more experienced player before the opening day of League One this Saturday against Dumbarton, while prospective new owner Ketan Makwana says he will be willing to sanction transfers on a case-by-case basis.
