Contract Expiry: 31st May 2010

Profile:
'Tosher' was signed in 2007 shortly after Jamie McQuilken in what was effectively a double swoop on neighbours Gretna by Ian McCall and struggled initially to have an impact due to a bad knee injury picked up early on in his Queens career. The following season though he went from strength to strength once played in central midfield and was a pivotal figure in the Scottish Cup run, scoring the first goal in both semi final and final. For this alone he will go down in history. The quiz king in the squad had a quieter season last year but still added six goals to the cause and agreed a one year extension in the summer that will take him through to his 37th birthday.
