Forfar supporters will likely get their first glimpse of Nditi in person in the side’s friendly with Dunfermline on June 28.

Nditi will take over the number two jersey, following the departure of Ross Meechan.

Brindley will wear the number three.

Following the departure of their skipper Meechan to Darvel, boss Gary Irvine highlighted the full-back position as a priority.

Both of the latest Loon recruits will give their side an option down either flank.
