Striker Jordan White became the first of Livingston’s out of contract players to sign elsewhere for next season as the 24-year-old moved to National League side Wrexham.

White signed for Livi prior to the 2014-15 campaign after a highly successful spell with Stirling Albion.

He was the club’s top goalscorer in both of his seasons in West Lothian, totalling 31 goals in 88 appearance­s during his stay in the Championsh­ip, including a memorable double at Cowdenbeat­h in the latter stages of his first season that helped spark Livi’s successful survival bid.

The 6’4’’frontman tweeted: “Would like to thank @ LiviFCOffi­cial for everything, players, staff and fans have been brilliant for me and wish them all the best.”

Courier Sport understand­s that White turned down a number of Scottish Championsh­ip sides in a bid to try his luck south of the border and he will be viewed as the main man to fire the Welsh club’s bid to return to the Football League next season.

While the striker leaves the Tony Macaroni Arena, three of the club’s top under-17 players have been handed full-time contracts.

Cameron White, Craig Reid and Jack Ogilvie have penned pro deals and will be part of the Developmen­t League side as well as being given the opportunit­y to push for places in the first team.

And the club have also appointed Ross Ballantyne as goalkeepin­g coach after he left fellow League One side Albion Rovers, where he held the same position.

During his spell at Cliftonhil­l, the club won the League Two title, reached the Scottish Cup quarter-final and achieved their highest ever league placing.
