Fraserburgh yesterday signed Caley Thistle striker Brian Thomson to spearhead next season's title challenge.
The league runners-up are understood to have paid #5000 for the striker, who has scored 20 goals this season.
Thomson has enjoyed great success in his three seasons in the Scottish League since signing for Caley Thistle in 1995, helping the club win the third-division title last season.
For Fraserburgh, the signing is a major departure. The Bellsea Park side have built an impressive young team from their extensive youth set-up, preferring to avoid transfer fees.
But the club, who led Huntly at the top of the table for most of the season before falling behind at the wire, clearly are ready to alter their approach.
Fraserburgh play their final league fixture at Wick today, while Fort William look to regain lost pride at home to Cove, who put 13 goals past them a fortnight ago.
