Welcome to Inverness, David

Spoony scored on his debut with a controlled finish in a 1-0 win over Airdrieonians on 28th October 2023.

David has joined Dundee United after he turned down an offer to stay at Inverness when his short term contract expired having scored 5 goals in 11 appearances. He is a quality player and will be missed.

He joined Dunfermline Athletic for season 2024/2025 and left after his contract expired having made 27 appearances scoring once.

He has now returned to the Caledonian Stadium on a 1 year deal initially, having just completed his coaching 'A' certificate. Welcome back Spoony!

A successful season at Inverness culminating with promotion to the Championship has encouraged Spoony to sign on again for another season until the summer of 2027.
