Dumbarton add Jon Routledge and Calum Waters to squad

Jon Routledge had two spells at Hamilton Academical

Dumbarton have completed the signing of former Hamilton Academical and Wigan Athletic midfielder Jon Routledge.

The Englishman, 25, has signed a one-year deal with the Scottish Championship club.

Sons boss Stevie Aitken has also persuaded Celtic defender Calum Waters, 19, to join on a one-year loan.

"I'm delighted to have signed Calum and I'm grateful to Celtic for their co-operation," Aitken told the Dumbarton website.

"He's a highly rated player and everyone at Celtic speaks highly of him so when he became available to us, it was a no-brainer to add Calum to the squad."

Routledge spent 10 years at Liverpool's academy before leaving to join Wigan Athletic where he made just one appearance in two and a half years.

He made 17 appearances last season for Hamilton Accies, his second spell at the club.
