Carlo Pignatiello

Dumbarton completed a season-long loan deal for right back or midfielder Carlo Pignatiello, who arrived from Livingston and made his debut in the pre-season local derby win over Cydebank.

The 21-year-old is in familiar company on his arrival at the Rock, as he previously worked under Sons boss Stevie Farrell at Stranraer in season 2019-20.

He played in 26 games for the Stair Park side across all competitions before the season was curtailed. He had one goal to his name, on his league debut against Montrose.

Carlo started last season as part of the first team picture at Livingston before spending time on loan at Arbroath.

Stevie said: "I know exactly what we're getting with Carlo — a hard worker who will give us 100 per cent in every game he plays.

"He's also a very versatile player, as he was able to play comfortably for Stranraer in more than one position. I'm really looking forward to working with him again."
