First Team
Six youngsters sign on at McDiarmid Park
19th June 2024
We are delighted to announce that a number of our talented youngsters will continue their development with the club after signing new deals.
Bayley Klimionek, Joe Ellison, Scott Bright, Jackson Mylchreest, Ben McCrystal and Adam McMillan have all agreed one-year extensions.
Our under-18s recently rounded off another impressive season by retaining the Club Academy Scotland Performance League title.
Head of our youth academy, Alistair Stevenson, said: “These players have had three good seasons now and most of them have had loan experience too.
“They have definitely earned this so I’m looking forward to seeing them for the start of the season and I hope they hit the ground running.”
Alistair added: “All of them will be looking to get opportunities to train with the first team and catch the manager’s eye. It’s about how you take the opportunity.
“If the manager does like what he sees, he might be prepared to give them an extended run as part of the squad.”
The club wishes to thank Filip Franczak, Kyle Scott and Kodi McKinstray, who will all be moving on this summer. We wish them every success with their next steps in football.
Alistair added: “I would like to thank all three players for their efforts and congratulate them on everything they have achieved with the club over the years.
“Everybody involved with the club – including coaches and wider staff – would like to wish them well for the future and we will keep in touch going forward to track their progress.”
