PLAYERS RETURN FOR PRE-SEASON TRAINING

It was first day back for Saints players as they embarked on their pre-season training programme in Perth today.

New signings Michael Coulson, Keith Watson, Blair Alston and Paul Paton joined the existing squad, including captain Dave Mackay as preparations for the 2016/2017 season got underway under the watchful eye of Manager Tommy Wright and his staff.

Tommy says: “It was good to get everyone back and they have returned in good shape but I expect nothing less – they are a responsible group of players and work hard all year round. We had two good sessions and it will be a tough week for them.”
