Troonin acecard

Ambitious Troon are hoping Three of Hearts will be their trump card next season.

Jambos old boys Christian Nade and Jordan Morton are the club’s latest signings.

And they hope the duo will form a profitable partnership with Ryan Stevenson, also an ex-Hearts ace.

Former French Under 21 striker Nade, who scored 14 goals in 29 starts for Troon two seasons ago, rejoins the Seasiders from Annan.

Winger Morton, who began his career at Tynecastle, also enjoyed senior stints at Livingston and Airdrie.

A Troon spokesman said: “Christian was a very popular figure among the supporters who I am sure will be delighted at his ambitious signing and welcome his return to Portland Park”.

AUCHINLECK defender Craig McCracken has agreed a new contract.

Work is progressing well on the Beechwood Park floodlights which will be installed on Friday, July 24.

CUMNOCK have welcomed back old favourite Richard Murray while GLENAFTON have signed former St Mirren and Stirling youth striker Ross Cameron from Sauchie but lost midfielder Dan Orsi to Dalbeattie Star.

WHITLETTS midfielder Ross George has rejoined the club from Largs where he was part of the squad that reached the 2018 Junior Cup final.

Valspar teenage midfielder Connor Yair, who spent last season on a delayed transfer with Maybole, has now joined his local club.

CRAIGMARK have handed a player coach role to Scott Dinwoodie.

•There are hopes the new West of Scotland League could kick off in late September.
