Livingston have announced the signing of Connor McLennan from Ayr, but captain Jamie Brandon has opted to leave the newly-promoted William Hill Premiership club.

Former Aberdeen winger McLennan was a key player for the Honest Men in the Championship last term and the 25-year-old, moving under freedom of contract, will join the West Lothian club on a two-year deal.

However, the Lions, who earned their return to the top flight through the play-offs last month, have been left “disappointed” by the news that skipper Brandon has turned down the chance to extend his three-year stay with the club.

The 27-year-old former Hearts player, who can operate in defence or midfield, has been linked with a move to Kilmarnock.

“Jamie Brandon will depart the club on the expiry of his contract,” read a statement from Livi.

“We’re obviously disappointed that Jamie has decided to move on. Jamie was instrumental last season and played a big part in our Trust Trophy and league success and leaves after huge success. Good luck, Brando!”
