Manager Allan Johnston has today secured the services of young Scottish striker, Lee Connelly. Lee will officially join on a one-year deal from the 1st of July after being released by Sunderland.

The 21-year-old spent last season on loan with Alloa Athletic and scored in their 3 – 2 win at Palmerston. He started as a youth with Queens Park before moving south to Sunderland in 2016, where he experienced first team football in the EFL Trophy and the FA Cup. He has also been capped at Under 15, 16 and 17 levels for Scotland.

Speaking of Lee, AJ said “Lee is a young player who has loads of energy. He is highly thought of and his shown up well in training so far. Having spent last season with Alloa he knows what to expect in the Scottish Championship so we hope he can hit the ground running”.
