Blair Spittal is moving on from Ross County after his contract came to an end.
Midfielder Spittal was among a number of players whose deals are due for renewal, however the Staggies have confirmed his three-year stay at Dingwall will come to an end.
The 26-year-old made 72 appearances following his move from Partick Thistle in 2019, netting 12 goals.
The last of those goals came in his final appearance, in Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Dundee United.
Speaking after the game, Spittal gave little indication of what the future held for him.
The Staggies have now confirmed the former Dundee United player will move on.

“The club has been very good for me, and I want to thank the manager and coaching staff, the players, the club staff and the fans for making my time so successful.
“To play in the Ross County shirt 72 times is special for me and my family and I can’t thank everybody enough as I move on to a new chapter.
“Finally, to our fans, this year you have been tremendous for the club. That afternoon at Pittodrie is a memory that will always be with me, and we were all there and in it together, achieving the clubs first top-six finish in six years.
“I wish the club and supporters all very the best.”
