KRIS DOOLAN yesterday sealed an emotional return to Firhill as the popular former player was appointed as a coach in Partick Thistle’s youth set-up – but supporters should not expect any other incomings during the January transfer window.
Doolan, who sits fourth in the Championship’s all-time top scorer list with 121 goals to his name, spent a decade at Firhill between 2009 and 2019 before being controversially released by then-manager Gary Caldwell a matter of months before his testimonial.
The 36-year-old has been appointed as the Thistle Weir Youth Academy’s head of youth phase, where he will help youngsters transition from under-18s football to the senior side, and he admits the offer was too good to turn down.
