Dunfermline Athletic have secured the services of defender Sam Cleall-Harding on a season-long loan from Dundee United. The 20-year-old centre-back joined the club ahead of the current campaign, with Dundee United retaining the option to recall him in January should his performances warrant an early return. Cleall-Harding, who has been viewed as a promising talent at Dundee United’s Tannadice Park, is expected to bolster Dunfermline’s defensive options throughout the season.
