St Cuthbert Wanderers squad revamped for new South of Scotland League season

St Cuthbert Wanderers will have a completely new look when the new season begins at the end of July.

The South of Scotland League champions have signed a host of new players who will be new names to fans of football in Dumfries and Galloway.

Josh Gardner, who took over the manager role after Jordan Williamson left for Dalbeattie, said: “We have 15 signed just now. Three of them are new signings and 12 are brand new players to the club.

“Some of them have come through the West of Scotland League and some have come from amateur leagues in the Central Belt.

“We started training on June 18 and sessions have been good.

“The boys are in good spirits and have trained really hard. It’s all looking positive.

“They’re looking good and I’m sure by the time the season starts they’ll be firing on all cylinders.”

Saints take on Creetown on Saturday in their first friendly as part of the Jim Hyslop Memorial Trophy.

On Wednesday they face their old boss when they meet Dalbeattie Star before playing Drumchapel on July 16, rounding off their fixtures against one of Gardner’s old clubs AS Airdrie on July 23.

The gaffer added: “It’s a good mix – we’ve got a good mix of training and a good mix of games.”
