Keith’s Jamie McAllister has retired from football.
The 37-year-old has called time on his career following his second spell with the Maroons.
McAllister started out as a striker and found the net regularly during his first stint at Kynoch Park and with Cove Rangers, as well as with Junior clubs Culter and Dyce.
When he returned to Keith in 2018 manager Dean Donaldson changed his position from striker to central defender.
The Maroons boss has been pleased with how the player made the transition and praised McAllister’s service to Keith.
Donaldson said: “I played with him in his first spell and then he came back to us a couple of years ago.
“He’s got a lot of commitments with his work and his family, but he’s had a very good couple of years with us.
“He was a striker, but we’ve played him at centre-back.
“When I signed him it was in my mind that I wanted to play him there because he’s really good in the air, he’s strong and determined and that was something we were lacking.
“We also have Cammy Keith up front and I’ve seen it done with other players going from being a striker to a defender and Jamie did really well for us at centre-back after making the transition.”
Meanwhile, Keith have agreed to sell winger Max Berton to Junior club Culter.
