Morton have completed the signing of midfielder Harry Cochrane on a one-year deal. The 25-year-old joins from Arbroath after his contract expired at the end of last season. Cochrane, who famously scored Hearts' opening goal in their 4-0 win over Celtic in 2017, brings a wealth of SPFL experience to Cappielow. Next fixture: vs Stenhousemuir (away, 2027-01-09) (9th in the table).
Who is Harry Cochrane?
Cochrane began his career at Hearts, making his debut as a teenager and becoming the club's youngest ever scorer. He spent time on loan at Dunfermline Athletic and Montrose before joining Queen of the South in 2021. After four years with the Dumfries side, he moved to Arbroath last season, helping them reach the Premiership play-offs.
What did Cochrane say about his move?
The midfielder thanked Arbroath for his time at the club, saying: “I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone involved with Arbroath. A special club with amazing people and I will take loads of great memories from last season. I would like to thank Colin Hamilton and David Gold for giving me the opportunity to get back playing in the Championship.”
Why is this signing important for Morton?
Cochrane's arrival adds experience to Ian Murray's squad as they look to build on their narrow escape from the relegation play-offs last season. The midfielder's ability to play in multiple positions will be a valuable asset as Morton prepare for their next fixture against Stenhousemuir on 9 January 2027.
