Dundee sign Inverness CT duo James Vincent and Danny Williams on pre-contract agreements

Dundee have announced the signings of Inverness CT duo James Vincent and Danny Williams on pre-contract agreements.

The players both arrived in the Highlands in the summer of 2013, and will move to Dens Park at the end of the current campaign.

Midfielder Vincent started his career with Stockport and spent two seasons with Kidderminster in the Conference ahead of his move to Scotland.

The 26-year-old will be well-remembered by the Caledonian Stadium faithful, having come off the bench to score a late winner in last year's 2-1 Scottish Cup final win over Falkirk at Hampden - the club's first major honour.

Vincent has made 46 league appearances during his three years in Inverness.

Fellow midfielder Williams, 28, joined Caley from Kendal Town, who had just been relegated from the Northern Premier League - the seventh tier of English football.

He has gone on to become a crucial part of John Hughes' midfield over the past two seasons, making 22 appearances so far this term. He also appeared as a substitute during last season's Scottish Cup triumph.

Both Dundee and Inverness are chasing a top-six finish in the Scottish Premiership.

Ross County currently occupy the final spot on 40 points, with the Dark Blues just three behind with a game in hand. Inverness are one point further back on 36, again with a game in hand over the Staggies.
