Calum Heath has signed up for the Burn from Blackburn United . Calum had signed a precontract and Blackburn felt it would be best to get an agreement before the transfer deadline rather than wait till the end of the season . Calum made his debut from the bench on Friday a bit earlier than was expected when Darren Downie had to be substituted after 15 minutes . We are sure Calum will enhance the club and help us progress in the future . Welcome to the Burn Calum .
