Murdoch has left Dunfermline for a nominal fee

Hamilton Accies have signed goalkeeper Sean Murdoch from Dunfermline, while Bryn Halliwell has left the club.

The 21-year-old played 11 games on loan with Hamilton in season 2006/07.

Boss Billy Reid told the club website: "Sean is someone I know and have worked with before and I'm delighted to get him on a two-year deal.

"Bryn played a big part in our title success, he has been great for us with a succession of clean sheets and he goes with our very best wishes."

Halliwell, who has had spells at Clyde, Dunfermline and St Johnstone, was offered an extended contract by the newly-promoted club.

But he has opted to keep his options open and Reid moved quickly to provide competition for Tomas Cerny.
