The Manager commenting on the signing 'We are delighted with yet another player who excelled last season giving his all for the club. Mikey gives us so many options having covered in left back along with his natural right side and centre back. We hope Mikey continues to develop by adding to our attacking options down that right side from his defensive position.'

We are delighted he has agreed to stay and push us forward over the coming seasons. For Taylor’s development now he needs to get a full run in the team staying free from any little injuries which will no doubt enhance his performances and help us as a team to keep improving. His power and ability will add another dimension to the squad, being able to play a number of positions gives us vital options and competition for the season ahead.' 

The club is delighted that local talent Niall Rogerson has today extended his stay with the club for a further year. The Dumfries born player has shown great promise in his time at the club and excelled while out on loan with promotion winning side Threave Rovers! 

Manager Peter Murphy said the following, ' Niall is a player who has improved over the course of the season, growing in stature and confidence. We need to see him contiue improving and developing all aspects to give him a chance at pushing for the first team. He is a young player who is absorbing information, embracing the challenge and learning all the time. Being around experienced 1st team players is no doubt a huge benefit and we look forward to seeing him contiue his journey here with us.

Niall had this to say ' I am very happy to be extending  my stay with the club. We need to go back for pre season ready to go. i’m a local boy and know how much it means to the fans. We have a brilliant group of lads and i’m delighted to be part of that going into next season.'

First team players Matty Douglass and Brennan Dickenson took time out from their summer holidays to attend the last youth training session of the season at Palmerston Park tonight.

Both players are at different stages of recovery from serious injuries, but were happy to come up and see the youths.

The lads helped put the u16 and u18 players through their paces ahead of the last youth fixtures of the season on Sunday, with Matty even able to join in the boxes at the start of the session.

With the last games on Sunday and a very short break until the new season, the club would like to thank all of the coaches and volunteer staff that have given up their time to work at the academy this season.

Thanks to Matty and Brennan, all the best for your recoveries.
