St Mirren loanee and Clyde hero Ally Love among Bully Wee end of the season exits

Midfielder Ally Love is among 12 players to be released by Clyde after the end of the 2021/22 campaign.

The fan favourite spent four years at Broadwood but will not be joining Danny Lennon's men for next term as they embark on life away from Cumbernauld, having agreed a groundshare for next season with Hamilton Accies.

Also leaving the club is Frenchman Gregory Tade, formerly of St Johnstone, and St Mirren loanee Lewis Jamieson, who will return to his parent club after scoring five goals since his January move.

Clyde finished eighth in League One in a campaign overshadowed by the David Goodwillie saga.

The full list of exits is as follows: Conrad Balatoni, Mark Docherty, Matthew Elsdon, Robert Jones, Ally Love, Kai McCormack, Billy Mortimer, Kevin Nicoll, Jonathan Page, Gregory Tade, Lewis Jamieson and Nick McAllister.

Boss Danny Lennon told the Clyde website: “This is a difficult time of the season for managers, coaches and players.

"We are saying goodbye to players who have given so much for the cause on the pitch, in training and in the dressing room.

"They have achieved another season in League One for the club. For all of that, we are grateful and each of these players can hold their head high. We wish them every success in the future.”

Ally Love posted his thanks on social media, saying: "Massive thanks to all at Clyde. Over the past four years I have met some of the best people in my career.

"I have had amazing memories and ones that will live with me forever.

"From the minute I walked in at Clyde, the Bully Wee family have been incredible and to you all a big thanks.

"But the time has come for a new challenge."

Former Albion Rovers player Love joined the Bully Wee in 2018 and he was given a five-game ban by the SFA after being found guilty of racially abusing Annan's Rabin Omar in his first game for the club.

In July last year he passed 100 games for the club and has scored 26 goals in his four seasons, during which he helped the club win promotion to League One in 2018/19.
