New Faces at Stair Park

Billy McLaren has had a busy time over the last week or so, with the signing of two new faces and also securing the services of another favourite with the fans.

 

The manager was please to announce that he has persuaded defender Derek "Dexi" Wingate to remain with the Blues for at least one more season. Dexi was signed from Junior side Benburb for the start of last season, and it didn't take too long for him to establish himself in the teams as a quality right-back. Also, Wingate was voted Stranraer Supporters Player of the Year.

 

With the departure of both Mark McGeown and Stephen O'Neil at the end of last season, it was important that we signed a goalkeeper with some experience under his belt. It looks like McLaren has done just that with the signing of 28 year-old Willie McCulloch from Berwick Rangers. McCulloch's previous teams have included Airdrie, Ayr United and East Fife before moving to Berwick in March 2001.

 

 

The last player signed definitely has the most experience and will certainly for the backbone to the defense next season. Steven Renicks 24 year-old right sided defender from freed by Hamilton Academicals at the end of the season. He spent 10 years with Hamilton, and made no fewer than 228 appearances.
