First up today we can confirm that Niall Rogerson has agreed a one year contract extension.

Eighteen year old Niall who joined us last year had a very successful loan spell at Dalbeattie Star in the first half of last season before joining the first team squad on a full time basis with the support of the Tanner Fund. Although yet to make his full debut he was a stand out in the Reserves and 18's team last season.

Manager Peter Murphy said, "We are excited about the prospect of Niall’s development. Having players like Jack Brydon and our new signings to learn from, Niall can only go from strength to strength. We believe Niall has great potential and are looking forward to working with him over the next season to really hone his skills and help him mature into his body." The new management team have a history of developing younger players at Annan so it’s an exciting time for these young home.produced players.

Niall was at Palmerston this week to meet assistant manager Colin McMenamin for the first time.
