Returning for another campaign is Lee Connelly. The pint sized forward has become a fan’s favourite since he joined the club in 2021 and re-joins on a one-year deal.

He featured in over 30 league and cup games for us last season, winning goal of the season awards for his tremendous finish against Rangers at Ibrox.

The 23-year-old said “It’s good to be back. Last season was frustrating for everyone but especially for me as I was hampered by injury and didn’t get to play as much as I wanted. We were gutted to miss out on the play-offs but that has given us even more determination for the season ahead. Hopefully, I can play a bigger part in the team this year and help us to success.”

The manager added “Lee has shown a massive determination to stay here and contribute to the club next season. We’ve had many a FaceTime call  in the off season about football and life and I think the penny has finally dropped!

He’s stuck to his off season fitness plan and is in really good shape, he knows that cutting corners won’t produce the best version of himself.

 A fit Lee Connelly is an asset to anyone and I can’t wait to work with him again next season”
