Ahead of tomorrow’s first pre-season friendly post-administration we would like to provide a final squad update.
We are pleased to have welcomed permanent signings Shay Kelly, Gordon Walker, Morgyn Neill, Chris Johnston, Dominic Docherty, Ally Roy and Adam Livingstone to the club.
We also thank Ayr United for providing us with goalkeeper Ollie Ecrepont on a loan deal.
Thanks to tomorrow’s visitors St Mirren for the loan deals of Theo McCormick and Carrick McAvoy who go into the Sons squad to face their parent side tomorrow.
Fellow loanee from Paisley Thomas Falconer will play for his parent side tomorrow and join up with Stevie Farrell’s squad after the St Mirren first team’s training camp in Spain.
From last season we are delighted that captain Mark Durnan and vice-captain Tony Wallace have agreed extended stays at the club.
Joining them are Ryan Blair, Cammy Clark and Aron Lynas who join Brett Long in providing continuity from last season.
Youngsters Luke Smallwood, Aedan Gilfedder, Murray Nicol, Panos Grivas and Jacob Shields all remain with the clubs under 20’s side after making their league debuts last campaign.
Departing the club are the previously announced Greig Young, David Wilson, Joel Mumbongo, who has since joined Annan Athletic and Craig McGuffie who has joined Peterhead.
We can also confirm the departures of Matthew Shiels, Carlo Pignatiello and Michael Ruth to Championship side Queen’s Park, James Hilton to Clyde, Finlay Gray to Stenhousemuir and Sena Niang to East Kilbride.
Also departing the club are Paddy O’Neill, Michael Miller and Zak Queen, who leave with our best wishes.
Youth players Ben Vine and Ross McGregor also depart and we wish them well for their future footballing careers.
The club remains in discussions with Kalvin Orsi and will provide an update when possible.
Thank you for your patience during a difficult summer, we now move into our new era with a new look squad, to which we hope to make some further additions to over the coming weeks.
See you all tomorrow as we return to action at the Rock, and as always thank you for your continued support Sons!
