VIDEO: Inside Dundee United’s Spanish training camp

Craig Sibbald trained for the first time as a Dundee United player on Tuesday.

Sibbald, 27, penned a two-year contract with the Tangerines on Monday night and was immediately pitched into action in the sweltering Spanish sun.

Jack Newman — who joined Peterhead on loan on Saturday — was also involved after jetting out to Andalusia in the aftermath of the Blue Toon’s 2-0 defeat against Aberdeen.

The mercury hit 28 degrees Celsius during United’s morning session, with some short, sharp box drills followed by full-pitch shape work.

The session culminated with an inter-squad match, during which Matty Cudjoe rippled the net and Steven Fletcher scored a sumptuous curling drive from 20 yards.

The Terrors face Port Vale in a behind closed doors friendly on Wednesday as the camp continues.

And Courier Sport was on hand on Tuesday to set the scene and capture some of the action.
