Midfielder Ally Spalding joined on a permanent deal from East Kilbride in August 2026, after being a key target for boss Frank McKeown.

The 20-year-old started his career at Airdrieonians, but made his name with a breakthrough season at Arbroath – playing 35 times as the Lichties lifted the League One title in 2024/25.

Last summer Duntocher lad Ally made the move to our League Two rivals Elgin City on loan, where he was a standout performer, making 44 appearances – catching the eye of title winners East Kilbride with his form.

After rejecting a contract offer from Arbroath in the search of first team football, Ally made the move to K Park over the summer. He started in Kilby’s 5-3 victory against us in July, but then agreed a switch to line up in a Sons shirt for the rest of the season.
