The Sky have brought in nine new players so far this summer, and 23-year-old Grimmer is the latest, having agreed a two-year deal with the club.

The right-back began his career at boyhood club Aberdeen, making his debut as a 16-year-old to become the Scottish club’s youngest ever first-team player.

boss Mark is excited with the arrival of Grimmer, and told the club website: “He is a really good prospect and at 23 has even more development potential still.

“Jack is strong, powerful, quick and has a winning mentality – all of which are important qualities to have.”

Having come through the ranks with the north of the border, Grimmer joined Fulham in 2012, and will bring with him to the Ricoh Arena a wealth of experience for someone so relatively young.
