Jim Morton

Biography

Jim was signed in June 1990 by Ian Gibson following his release by Forfar Athletic. He suffered a bad injury in a Second Division game against Berwick Rangers in late August which saw him miss the following four months but upon his return he was a regular in the team throughout the second half of the 1990-91 season. In his second year at the club, he began to feature more off the bench under both Walter Borthwick and then Mickey Lawson, and he left at the end of the 1991-92 campaign and retired from the game.
