Spartans 1st XI Squad Update

Posted on Friday, June 5th, 2009

The squad is beginning to take shape for next season even although pre-season training is still two weeks away.  Nearly all the squad have re-signed with only a few leaving and a small number of new faces.

Nicky Walker and Daryl Devlin have moved on.  Nicky is yet to sign for another club but Daryl has gone to Whitehill Welfare seeking a more regular game.  Our very best wishes to both of them – Nicky scored the two critical goals against Pollok which kick started our Scottish Cup run.

James Hair is also seeking a  regular game however we are hoping he stays at the club. 

We have signed a defender from one of the other Edinburgh EoS teams but we’re just waiting until the paperwork is complete to announce it.  Stepping up from within the club for pre-season training are Michael Moffat, Adam Perry, Chris Smith and Keir Anderson. 

We’re looking for Michael and Adam to carry on their great form of last season and at 21 both have great potential.  If they are nearly as successful as Gavin and Deano in the first season with the 1st XI they will have a great season.   

Bob Mitchell is also back at pre-season after missing all of last season.   Bob has been really unlucky with injuries but with a good pre-season he will hopefully be ready to push for a starting place.
