Falkirk have signed “one of the hardest working strikers” in Brian Graham, as the veteran forward joins on a one-year deal.
The 37-year-old scored 21 goals in all competitions last season for Scottish Championship side Partick Thistle and has over 220 goals in his 18-year career.
This is the second time John McGlynn has signed Graham, having previously done so in 2011 with Raith Rovers, and Graham said he “couldn’t say no” to working with the manager again.
“Brian’s had an amazing career and it’s a credit to him and the way he’s look after himself that he’s still one of the hardest working strikers going about,” McGlynn told club media.
“He has the natural instincts of a top striker, he’s in the right place at the right time, he knows the position inside out and with the number of crosses we put in the box, I’m sure there’s plenty more goals to come.
“Brian is a winner, he is very determined individual and his experience at this level will be important to the team.
“I’ve said we needed Premiership experience and physicality, and Brian brings both of those in abundance.”
The former Hibernian forward has 25 goals in 96 top-flight appearances with Dundee United, St Johnstone and Ross County.
“The opportunity to work with John McGlynn again was one I couldn’t say no to,” the former Partick Thistle women’s manager said.
“You can see how well the players and staff have done here over the last two years with back-to-back promotions, and it’s a chance for myself to get back and play in the Premiership as well.
“It’s up to me now to work hard, get the head down, and get myself in the team. With the wide players here, I know for a fact I’m going to get chances to score goals and I’m really looking forward to getting started.”
