TRIPLE SIGNING COUP FOR SAINTS
Subject to SFA approval, St Andrews United FC is delighted to announce the addition of three new players ahead of the upcoming season, as manager Fraser Duncan continues to strengthen his squad.
The club is pleased to welcome experienced goalkeeper Darren Dolan to St Andrews United.
Darren arrives with an impressive footballing CV, having previously featured for Camelon Juniors, Sauchie Juniors and East Stirlingshire. Having played at League Two level, Darren brings a wealth of experience, leadership and quality to the squad, along with a safe pair of hands between the posts.
The club is also delighted to announce the signing of defender David Cross.
David joins the Saints after spells with Bo’ness Athletic, Sauchie Juniors, Crossgates Primrose and Hutchison Vale. A strong and dependable defender, David adds further quality and experience to Fraser Duncan’s back line.
The club can also announce that striker Mark Smith has signed a pre-contract agreement with St Andrews United.
Mark, who has previously played for Sauchie Juniors and Jeanfield Swifts, will officially join Saints upon the expiry of his current contract with Jeanfield Swifts at the end of June.
A hard-working forward with an eye for goal, Mark will provide another attacking option for Fraser Duncan’s side, and everyone at the club is looking forward to seeing him pull on the famous black and white shirt in the months ahead.
Manager Fraser Duncan said:
“We’re delighted to bring Darren, David and Mark to the club. Each player brings valuable experience and quality in key areas of the pitch, and they all possess the character and commitment we’re looking for as we continue to build the squad.
“Darren gives us real experience and reliability in goal, David strengthens our defensive options, and Mark adds competition and quality in attacking areas. They are three players who will improve the squad and fit perfectly into the environment we’re creating at St Andrews United. We’re looking forward to seeing them in action and helping us achieve our ambitions this season.”
MILNE AND FLEMING DEPART
St Andrews United FC can confirm that Lewis Milne and Alan Fleming have departed the club.
Everyone at Saints would like to place on record our sincere thanks to both players for their commitment, professionalism and contribution during their time at The Clayton Holiday Park Recreation Ground.
Lewis was a consistent and influential presence in the heart of midfield, delivering a number of strong performances in a Saints shirt and always giving his all for the club. Alan brought experience, reliability and leadership to the squad during his time with the Saints and was a valued member of the dressing room.
As they move on to the next stage of their football careers, everyone at St Andrews United would like to thank Lewis and Alan for everything they have contributed to the club and wish them every success for the future.
THOMSON EXTENDS CONTRACT
St Andrews United are delighted to announce that Jason Thomson has signed a contract extension that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2026/27 season.
One of the Saints’ standout performers last season, Thomson’s experience, leadership and consistency made him a key figure both on and off the pitch. Securing his services for another year is a significant boost as the club prepares for the new campaign under new manager Fraser Duncan.
A highly respected figure in Scottish football, Thomson brings a wealth of experience to the Saints. A product of the Hearts youth system, he enjoyed a lengthy senior career across the Scottish game, making hundreds of appearances for clubs including Hearts, Raith Rovers, Arbroath and Kelty Hearts. His professionalism, winning mentality and football knowledge continue to make him an invaluable asset within the dressing room.
New manager Fraser Duncan was delighted to retain a player of Thomson’s calibre as he continues to shape his squad for the season ahead.
“I’m delighted that Jason has committed to the club for another season. Jason has had an outstanding career in Scottish football and brings a tremendous amount of knowledge and leadership to our squad. Having someone with that level of experience around the club is invaluable, both on the pitch and in the dressing room. As we continue building for the season ahead, retaining experienced players was a key priority for us and we’re delighted that Jason will be part of what we’re trying to achieve.”
Thomson’s performances throughout last season demonstrated exactly why he remains such an influential player. His consistency, commitment and leadership were evident week after week, helping set the standards that the club will look to build upon in the season ahead.
Everyone at St Andrews United is delighted that Jason has extended his stay with the club, and we look forward to seeing him continue to play a major role in black and white throughout the 2026/27 campaign.

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.”
