Dundee United have signed Jack Walton on a three-year contract. The 28-year-old Englishman spent two seasons at Tannadice on loan from Luton Town, helping Jim Goodwin's side win promotion and secure a top-six finish.
What happened?
Walton expressed his frustration with his time at Preston North End, where he was the second-choice goalkeeper. He stated that he didn't get the game time he wanted, which was a significant change from his previous experience at Dundee United.
Why it matters for Dundee United
The signing of Walton is a significant boost for Dundee United, who are currently sitting 9th in the Premiership with 33 points, 8 wins, 9 draws, and 16 losses from 33 games. The team has scored 34 goals and conceded 53, resulting in a goal difference of -19.
