Exclusive: Dundee agree Paul Digby deal as medical booked

Dundee have agreed a deal to sign former Cambridge United midfielder Paul Digby with the player booked in for a medical, sources have told Football Insider.

Digby, 30, is a free agent, with his Cambridge exit confirmed ahead of the expiry of his contract this month.

A number of EFL League One and League Two clubs showed an interest in signing Digby, but Dundee have moved quickly to agree a deal for the former Barnsley and Ipswich man.

The experienced EFL star is set to play outside of England for the first time after a long career in the second, third and fourth tiers.

Digby set for Dundee medical

Digby joined Cambridge in 2020 and racked up 229 appearances for the U’s over five years, but has moved on in the wake of their relegation to League Two.

He made 36 appearances across all competitions in the 2024-25 campaign, notching two goals and one assist.

Digby came through the ranks with Barnsley and has also featured for Ipswich, Stevenage, Mansfield and Forest Green.

Dundee finished 10th in the Scottish Premiership in the 2024-25 campaign after being in a relegation play-off spot before the split.
