The 28-year-old Northern Ireland international returned to Wigan at the end of last season following a loan spell at the Staggies’ Highland rivals.

Mckay, who started his career at Leicester, joined Wigan from Caley Thistle in 2015.

He also had a loan spell at Dundee United in season 2015-16.

Talking about the transfer, subject to international clearance, County manager Jim McIntyre told the club’s official website: “I’m delighted to bring Billy to Dingwall.

“He is a player that we know well and the type of player that we feel can do well for us.

“I was keen to add more goal threat to our squad and Billy gives us that. He is great in and around the box and I am sure he will get goals for us.”
