Central Park was buzzing this evening with a hectic round of signing activity underway as manager Gary Bollan began assembling his squad for season 2018/19. Firstly two new recruits put pen to paper - midfield man Martin 'Jimmy' Scott who last season was with Stenhousemuir is pictured. Martin of course is a vastly experienced player who numbers among his previous clubs Hibs, Ross County and Livingston. Capped by Scotland at under 21 level, Martin can play in a number of positions and we offer him a warm Central Park welcome. Also signing on the dotted line was former favourite Kris Renton who returns after a season in League One where he helped Alloa win promotion. The big striker was Cowden's player of the year in season 2016/17 and we are very pleased to bring Kris back to the Blue Brazil.
Over and above Martin and Kris, Gary was absolutely delighted to be able to resign many of the players tonight that he wished to retain from last season - those players who were able to come in tonight to extend their existing contracts were Ryan Connelly, Cameron Muirhead, Jamie Pyper, Fraser Mullen, Robbie Buchanan, Brad Smith, Kyle Miller, Harvey Swann and David Cox.
More signing news is expected shortly.
