With a new era underway at the Clayton Caravan Recreation Ground, manager Fraser Duncan and his management team will use a busy programme of fixtures throughout July to build fitness, develop partnerships on the pitch, and ensure the squad is fully prepared for the start of the East of Scotland Premier League campaign on 25th July.
Saints will face a varied and competitive schedule, beginning with a trip to Ochilview to take on East Stirlingshire before further tests against Oakley United, Stirling University FC and Cowdenbeath.

Supporters can also look forward to seeing the squad continue to take shape over the coming weeks, with the club hopeful of announcing a number of new additions as preparations for the new season gather momentum.
OWAIN CLARK'S A SAINT
St Andrews United FC are delighted to announce the signing of goalkeeper Owain Clark ahead of the new season.
Owain joins Saints from Dundonald Bluebell after gaining valuable experience there following his spell with Alloa Athletic Under-20s. The young goalkeeper now makes the move to The Rec as Fraser Duncan continues to shape his squad for the upcoming campaign.
Owain becomes the first new face through the door after the recent contract extensions for Sawers, Sneddon and McManus, with the club continuing to build strongly ahead of the 25th July season kick-off.
Speaking after signing, Owain said:
“I’m buzzing to get it done. As soon as I spoke with Fraser and the management team, I knew this was a club I wanted to join. They’ve got big plans for the season ahead and I’m really excited to come in, work hard and be part of it.”
Manager Fraser Duncan added:
“Owain is a young goalkeeper who is eager to improve and hungry to succeed. He gained valuable experience at Dundonald after coming through at Alloa, and he was extremely keen to join the club, which really stood out to us. We’re delighted to bring him in and we’ll continue working hard behind the scenes to strengthen the squad further ahead of the new season.”
Everyone at St Andrews United would like to welcome Owain to the club and wish him every success in the black and white!
MCMANUS COMMITS FUTURE TO SAINTS
St Andrews United is delighted to confirm that Ryan McManus has agreed to extend his contract with the club through to the end of the 2026/27 season.
The news continues a positive period for the club following last weekend’s announcement that Kyle Sneddon and Lewis Sawers had also committed their futures to the Saints, providing another significant boost as preparations continue for the seasons ahead.
Ryan has been a key member of the squad for a number of years and remains an important figure both on and off the pitch. A familiar voice around the pitch on matchdays, Ryan brings plenty of energy and passion to the team, alongside the composure, passing range and set-piece quality that have made him such an important player for the Saints over the years. His ability to dictate the tempo of games and produce moments of quality from dead-ball situations has seen him contribute some truly memorable goals in Saints colours.
Everyone at St Andrews United is delighted that Ryan has chosen to extend his stay and we look forward to seeing him continue to play a major role in the club’s future.
SAWERS & SNEDDON EXTEND CONTRACTS
St Andrews United FC are delighted to announce that Lewis Sawers and Kyle Sneddon have both re-signed with the club until the end of the 2026/27 season.
The retention of two key members of the squad represents another significant step forward as preparations continue for the new campaign, with both players set to play an integral role in Fraser Duncan’s plans as he begins shaping his squad for the season ahead.
While Fraser may only have been in post for a matter of weeks, he and his newly assembled management team have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to build the strongest squad possible. The commitment shown already reflects the ambition and determination to ensure St Andrews United is in the best possible position heading into the new season.
Both Lewis and Kyle have been important figures within the St Andrews United setup over a number of seasons, consistently demonstrating their quality, commitment and professionalism in the black and white. Their experience and familiarity with the club will prove invaluable as the squad continues to take shape under the new management team.
Everyone at St Andrews United FC is absolutely delighted to have secured the continued services of Lewis and Kyle and looks forward to seeing both players play a major role in what promises to be an exciting new chapter for the club.
