Ben Paton, Jack Burroughs and Ashley Maynard-Brewer have all joined County
Charlton Athletic goalkeeper Ashley Maynard-Brewer, Coventry City's Jack Burroughs and fellow midfielder Ben Paton have signed for Ross County.
Australian Maynard-Brewer, 22, and Burroughs, 20, have joined on season-long loans, while Paton, 20, arrives after his release by Blackburn Rovers.
Canada-born Paton, younger brother of County midfielder Harry, has yet to make a first-team appearance.
But the two loanees have played five times each for their parent clubs.
County manager Malky Mackay told his club website that Maynard-Brewer, who has had loan spells from his League One club with Chelmsford City, Hampton & Richmond Borough, Dulwich Hamlet and Dover Athletic, "comes highly recommended to us as a very talented young goalkeeper".
He was in his country's squad for the Tokyo Olympics and, although he did not play in their three group games, will be expected to challenge for a starting place with the Scottish Premiership club.
Former Hibernian goalkeeper Ross Laidlaw is County's current number one, with 21-year-old academy product Ross Munro as back-up.
"We are excited to bring in that calibre of goalkeeper," Mackay said.
Coventry-born Burroughs, who has had previous loan spells with Nuneaton Borough and Gloucester City, signed a new long-term contract with his hometown Championship club this summer.
The Scotland Under-21 international can play both on the left or right of midfield as well as wing-back.
"Jack is a player that, through his involvement with the Scotland youth squads, I have been able to watch and see develop," Mackay said.
"He is an athletic and powerful runner as well as being versatile with the positions he can play."
County, who have not revealed the length of Paton's contract, say the Canada youth international is "a dynamic and creative midfielder - he is comfortable in both a central role as well as on the left-hand side".
