Paul Slane has announced his footballing comeback as he signed a one-year deal with Open Goal Broomhill. The 30-year-old will end six years out of the game by joining podcast partner Si Ferry at the Lowland League club.
Ferry was unveiled as the club's new manager in May in a partnership between Open Goal and the Glasgow-based side. Initially launched as a podcast, Open Goal has become part of the Scottish football fabric with live shows and events featuring Ferry, Slane, Andy Halliday and Kevin Kyle plus a host of famous names from around the game as regular guests.
Their latest venture is an ambitious Broomhill link-up with Ferry at the helm and he's now added former Motherwell and Celtic youth Slane as a player-coach. The winger last played for Clyde under Barry Ferguson in 2016 but he insists he's been grafting to rediscover his fitness - a process captured in a documentary set to air on YouTube at the end of June as the club prepare for the upcoming season at their new Broadwood home.
