The club are delighted to announce the first signing of the Marvin Bartley era. 19 year old centre back Jack Brydon arrives from Hibernian for an undisclosed transfer fee on a 2.5 year contract. Jack has played the first half of the season alongside Liam Fontaine in the back line for an Edinburgh side which has surprised everyone by challenging at the top end of the table, although they have struggled in their games against us. He also played the second half of last season on loan to the Edinburgh side and was an important part of their promotion campaign. He is unfortunately cup tied for the SPFL Trust Trophy having played for Hibernian Colts in the early rounds.

He trained with us today and will go straight into the squad to face Montrose on Saturday subject to SFA clearance.
