Ryan McGowan "excited" to be back in Scottish football

Ryan McGowan says that he is looking forward to the challenge of representing Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership, having completed his move from Shandong Luneng.

Australia international Ryan McGowan has claimed that is is "great" to be back playing in the Scottish Premiership, having completed his switch to Dundee United.

The 25-year-old, who has previously spent five years playing for Hearts, penned a deal at Tannadice to keep him at the club until the end of next season.

Twelve-time capped McGowan saw his contract with Chinese outfit Shandong Luneng expire last year, although he has now been offered a route back into football by Dundee.

"It is great to be back in the Scottish Premiership and I am excited about the challenge of being a Dundee United player," the 25-year-old said in a statement.

"When I moved to Shandong Luneng Taishan, I believed I would return to Scottish football one day and for it to be here at Tannadice is fantastic.

"My time in China was a great experience but I look at what we can achieve here at Dundee United this season and I want to play a part in helping the club reach its goals."

McGowan has also enjoyed spells at Ayr United and Partick Thistle in the past.
