Manchester City youngster Alexander Robertson has signed a season long loan deal with Ross County FC.

The 18-year-old, who is the son of former Dundee and St. Johnstone star Mark Robertson, signed for City from rivals Manchester United as a youth prospect.

He then progressed through City's Under-18 and EDS teams, showing his talent as a box to box midfielder.

Manager Malky Mackay said of the move, per the Ross County website: "We are delighted to have signed Alexander, someone I have been tracking personally for nearly 4 years.

"He has scored goals for every team he has played with, and the variety of goals he scores, off both feet as well as set plays, has really caught the eye. Alexander also brings an energy, hard work and tenacity to our midfield group, as well as a youthful vibrance and an elite mentality.

"There were a number of clubs interested in Alexander as he is a really promising young talent and I am happy that we will be able to play our part in this stage of his development and will be really eager to impress our supporters and we are really excited to be working with him.

"We would like to thank Manchester City for allowing us to be part of Alexanders development, we look forward to showcasing his talents in the Scottish Premiership."
