Ross County have confirmed the departure of former captain Blair Spittal.

The midfielder spent three seasons in Dingwall and captained the side at the start of his most recent campaign.

Blair played 72 times for the Staggies and scored his 12th goal for the club in the final game of the Premiership season against Dundee United. He also briefly had a stint at his former club Partick Thistle.

The 26-year-old said on County's website that he was "really proud" to have represented the club.

"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," he added.

"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 club's first top-six finish in six years.

Manager Malky Mackay added: "Blair has been a top professional for me this season. He has been at the club for three years and in each season has contributed considerably to where we stand today."

Also today the Dingwall club is thanking Jake Vokins, Jack Burroughs, Kayne Ramsay, Declan Drysdale, Joseph Hungbo and Ash Maynard-Brewer for their service to the club.

The six loanees are to return to their parent clubs after spells in the Highlands.
