Heck of a signing
:DQuote:
Dundee United is thrilled to confirm the signing of goalkeeper Trevor Carson on a two-year contract.
The Northern Ireland international arrives at Tannadice to compete with Benji Siegrist for a place in Tam Courts' starting XI.
Trevor began his career at Sunderland in 2008 and would go on to become a regular starter at Bury, Portsmouth, Cheltenham, Hartlepool and Motherwell. In total, the 33-year-old has made 335 career appearances, keeping more than 80 clean sheets.
"There was talk of me moving back down to England for family reasons, but once Dundee United came in for me and I spoke to the gaffer and Sporting Director Tony Asghar it was a no brainer to come here," said Trevor.
"It's such a great club with a great history, I'm so excited to be part of it. Last year was a decent return to the Premiership, but this year promises a lot more. You look at the squad, a great mix of experience and young players coming through. Hopefully, I can add my experience and know-how to that.
"Benji was one of the top goalkeepers in the league last season so I know it's going to be a challenge for me. You've got to embrace that, I've been in the game a long time and if you're not up for a challenge then you're in the wrong sport. One of my short-term goals is to come and give Benji a good run for his money. Hopefully, it will be a healthy competition.
Head Coach Tam Courts added: "Trevor is an experienced international player who has performed well in the Scottish Premiership and has built a strong reputation for his performance levels.
"He joins a motivated goalkeeping group who push each other every day, so he’s a welcome addition to what we’re aiming to do."
Trevor will wear the number 16 shirt.

Sensible bit of business. Experienced and solid enough keeper. Good when we have Newman coming through to have such experience around. Nice to see it can be done without it being announced and rumoured first. Maybe more is being worked on after all.
Young attacking midfielder mentioned is interesting for sure. Would seem like a significant coup though and suggestions he is under contract. Not sure we can pull that off. Fingers crossed though
Must be one of the few signings over the last few years that we've had zero sniff of before it was announced. It means we can be slightly more relaxed about Benji. If he stays, great, if he goes later on in the window we have Carson ready to step in.
probs lolQuote:
