Midfielder David Craig has put pen to paper on a deal to become Frank McKeown’s latest recruit for the 2026/27 campaign.
The 19-year-old, who came through the ranks at Ayr United and captained the Honest Men’s U18s side, has caught the eye during a trial spell – and has agreed a two year deal at The Rock sponsored by Marbill Coaches.
A tenacious and composed left footed central midfielder, David spent last season on loan at West of Scotland Premier League side Glenafton Athletic, playing 37 times, and has also featured for Cumnock Juniors during a loan spell.
Now he’s at The Rock and goes straight into the squad for Saturday’s game with St Mirren.
Boss Frank McKeown said: “David is someone we’ve known about for a while, and when he left Ayr United over the summer we were very keen to take a look at him. He’s impressed us during pre season, and not just with his performances on the park, but with his maturity and attitude off it.
“He’s someone who is hungry, has great energy and he’s determined to make his mark in the SPFL, and – as we’ve seen with a number of our young players recently – we believe we have the right environment here for him to thrive. We’re all looking forward to working with him for the next two years to develop him further.”
