We are delighted to announce that much sought after Leith Athletic striker Keith Murray is the latest new signing to join Spartans FC.

Keith becomes Manager Dougie Samuel’s 4th new summer signing, he’s absolutely delighted to get his man, “Keith is an exciting young talent, a player we have been tracking for 12 months. We faced stiff competition from a number of other Clubs keen to sign Keith, so naturally I’m delighted that he has chosen to come on board and be a part of our journey. I’m looking forward to working him, to watching him continue to develop and grow as a player. We know next season will be a huge challenge, for me Keith fits the bill in terms of the type of player we need. He’s a player with real potential, has an excellent work ethic and is fuelled by a real desire and hunger to prove himself at a higher level and do well.”

Having scored 30+ goals last season for Leith Athletic, Keith is keen to make his mark in the Lowland League, “I’m delighted to be making the step up to the Lowland League with Spartans. I’d like to thank Derek Riddell and everyone at Leith Athletic for a memorable season. I can’t wait to get started, to test and prove myself at Spartans.”

Spartans are delighted to announce our latest new signing of the summer. Midfield player David Greenhill has agreed to join the Club, he brings with him a wealth of senior football experience gained from his time at St Johnstone, Clyde, Alloa Athletic, Berwick Rangers and most recently East Stirling.

1st Team Manager Dougie Samuel is pleased to have got another of his summer targets, “David fits the bill in terms of depth and quality of experience, he is someone at his peak right now, hungry to do well. I’m delighted he is coming on board to share his experience and help us to take the club forward as we continue to re-build our squad. I believe he will be a great role model for others in the squad, also our younger players across our E of S and U20 teams. I’m hoping he is someone who can help us to achieve our goals”.

David himself is equally pleased to have made the move, “I’m delighted to have signed for such a professional club that’s going places. Being a local lad I know how much they are involved with and do for the local community, so it would mean a lot to help to get them into the league. I look forward to working with a manager that impressed me a lot and challenging for honours during the season ahead”.

Just the day after our annual Player of the Season Awards night, the Club is delighted to announce we have signed Dan Ward from The University of Edinburgh on a pre-contract agreement for next season.

Head Coach Dougie Samuel is delighted to get his man, “Dan is someone I know well from my time at the University, he is a player I’ve always admired and believed has the ability to perform at a higher level. A Scottish University cap numerous times over, he has a proven pedigree…for me, he’s one of the most under-rated players in the Lowland League”

Dan himself is looking forward to a fresh challenge after 6 years at EUAFC, “It is an exciting time right now to be part of Spartans, and it is something I am very happy to be part of next season. With the Lowland League continually improving in standard I am looking forward to the challenge ahead and to compete for the Lowland League title with Spartans”.
