Levein eyes Fotheringham
 

Dundee United are trying to sign former Dundee midfielder MARK FOTHERINGHAM.

 
With injuries threatening to hit the team selection for the game at St Johnstone tomorrow hard, Dundee United were this afternoon trying to sign midfielder Mark Fotheringham on a short-term contract (writes Tom Duthie).
The 25-year-old former Celtic, Dundee and Norwich man has been training with the Tangerines this week and is a free agent prior to starting a new career with Cypriots Anorthosis Famagusta in January.

One stumbling block to him being on duty at Perth tomorrow, however, will be getting international clearance through in time.

“Although he left Norwich a while ago, the way it works is his registration stays with the association down south until he gets another club,” explained United boss Craig Levein.

“When you are signing a player, it usually takes a couple of days to sort that out, but, if we can get it done, I would consider him for tomorrow.”
