Peterhead have signed three Aberdeen youngsters after the trio were released by the SPL club.

Martin Skinner, Davie Ross and Neil McVitie have all made the move, with Ross, 19, and McVitie, 16, having spent spells on loan at Balmoor during the past season. 

Skinner, 19, last season captained the Aberdeen youth team, but was deemed surplus to requirements at Pittodrie.

Ross made a big impact with Peterhead near the end of last season, scoring four goals in eight appearances.
