There have been a few movements in the u20's squad over the last week or two and it is worth now updating things which haven't been reported to date. Three players have been added to the squad. Jesse Akubuine is a graduate of Brentford's Elite Academy who was previously attached to Peterborough United signed professionally for us earlier this month following the granting of international clearance. Meanwhile young local players Liam Robertson and Callum Williams joined the squad on an amateur basis from Greystone Rovers and have immediately gone out on loan to Upper Annandale to allow the club to monitor their development.

In the last week three more players have moved out on Development Loans also with Bailey White and Ewan Gourlay also joining Upper Annandale whilst Sam Henderson joined St Cuthbert Wanderers. All of these boys remain available to play for our u20's in the Development League midweek whilst turning out in the South of Scotland League at the weekend for their loan club.

We now have nine young players out on loan in various places as follows:

Aidan Smith (Annan Athletic)

Jack Brannan (Gretna 2008)
Jack Leighfield (Gretna 2008)

Sam Henderson (St Cuthbert Wanderers)

Declan Tremble (Heston Rovers)

Ewan Gourlay (Upper Annandale)
Liam Robertson (Upper Annandale)
Bailey White (Upper Annandale)
Callum Williams (Upper Annandale)

The Development League West season gets underway next week with a home fixture against Albion Rovers.
