Interest in Meekings

Dundee boss Neil McCann has been running the rule over former Inverness defender Josh Meekings.

The centre-half was in the stands at Dens watching the Dark Blues beat Buckie Thistle on Saturday, with the 24-year-old a free agent after leaving Caley at the end of last season.

Sitting alongside Meekings was Tom Hateley, and sources in Poland have linked the player with a move back to his former club Slask Wroclaw.

The Englishman is also understood to be attracting interest from Kaiserslautern and a club in Belgium.

However, he insists he is not just here to make up the numbers.

Parish added: “I’ve been in the game a few years and I’m definitely signing at the moment, I guess, as back-up.

“But in my mind, and I’ve got to make this go into the manager’s head, I’m not here just to be back-up.

“I’ve got to push Bainy, who I’ve been very impressed with since I’ve come up. He’s a very good goalkeeper and a great lad.

“I’m looking forward to working with him, pushing him, and hopefully I’ll get a few chances to impose myself on the shirt.

“I’ve played well over 100 games now and a lot of those have come from signing at a club, like Bristol City, Cardiff and Blackpool, as back-up and then pushing myself in.

“So, I’m not a stranger to this situation. It’s healthy there’s competition for places throughout squads, and that includes goalkeeper.

“I’m definitely determined to make this as competitive as possible, in the nicest possible way of course.

“I’m 27 now, and I’ve got a fair bit of experience behind me now, so it’s nothing new to me.”
