The Magnificent Seventh!
St Andrews United FC is
thrilled to announce the signing of our 7th player this pre-season; talented defender Luke Murray, formerly of Edinburgh University FC.
Luke brings versatility, strength, composure, and leadership to the back line, having impressed with his consistent performances in the East of Scotland Premier Division last season. His experience in this competitive league and dedication to development make him a perfect fit for the team’s ambitions.
Luke’s arrival signals our continued commitment to building a strong, competitive squad for the season ahead!
Saints Signing Spree Continues!
We are delighted to officially welcome another three new players to St Andrews United ahead of the upcoming season.
Jacob Shyngle
A promising 20-year-old centre-half, Jacob joins us after impressive spells with Edinburgh University and Linlithgow Rose. A composed, ball-playing defender, Jacob has stood out with his performances over the past year and will bring a strong physical presence in both penalty areas.
Joe Aitken
Joe is a proven striker originally from Montrose, where he began his footballing journey. After relocating to Edinburgh, he featured for Edinburgh University and recently made headlines with a hat-trick against Sauchie. Joe adds valuable attacking experience and goal-scoring ability to our squad.
Jason Thomson
Jason arrives with a wealth of experience, having made over 400 appearances in the Scottish leagues. Most recently with Arbroath and Kelty Hearts, Jason was part of the Arbroath squad that secured promotion to the Scottish Championship last season. His leadership and defensive experience will be a massive asset to the team.
Manager Greg Shields shared his enthusiasm about the new additions:
“We’re very pleased to bring in Jacob, Joe, and Jason. They’ll bring strength and quality to the squad, and their influence will no doubt help push our younger players to the next level. With last week’s signings and the board’s backing of our end-of-season plans, we now have a much better balance of youth and experience.”
As preparations begin for the new campaign, excitement is building around the club. We look forward to a well-earned break before getting back to work.

Saints 2025/26 Opponents!
As St Andrews United continue preparations for the 2025/26 campaign, we will again face a competitive East of Scotland Premier Division. Musselburgh Athletic, last season’s champions, will likely be the team to beat, while familiar foes like Hill of Beath Hawthorn, Jeanfield Swifts, Dundonald Bluebell, and Dunbar United promise stern tests throughout the season.
Dunipace, Whitburn, Haddington Athletic, Glenrothes, Penicuik Athletic, Hutchison Vale, and Sauchie bring further depth to the league, each boasting quality squads and ambitions of their own.
Adding fresh energy to the division are three promoted sides: Camelon, Bo’ness Athletic, and Newtongrange Star—all will be eager to prove themselves at a higher level like Saints last season.
With such a strong lineup of opponents, the season ahead promises to be both challenging and exciting for St Andrews United supporters
Saints Sign Experienced Trio
St Andrews United Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of three experienced players ahead of the 2025/26 season: Greig Spence, Lewis Milne, and David Maskrey will join Saints when their current club contracts expire over the coming weeks
Greig Spence brings a wealth of attacking experience to the squad. A proven goalscorer, Spence has played for a number of clubs across all levels in the Scottish leagues, and has an excellent track record of scoring goals. His sharp movement and eye for goal are expected to significantly enhance United’s attacking options.
Joining him is midfielder Lewis Milne who also adds valuable experience having played in league 1 for the majority of his career. Milne is well-regarded for his creativity, passing, and ability to influence games from the middle of the park. His experience and technical ability will add control and composure to the midfield, making him a valuable addition to Greg’s side.
David Maskrey arrives from Gala Fairydean following a season on loan at Edinburgh University FC. His energy and versatility in attack will provide an additional dimension to United’s forward options and strengthen the club’s ability to compete at the sharp end of the pitch.
Manager Greg Shields expressed his enthusiasm about the new arrivals:
“I’m absolutely delighted to welcome Greig, Lewis, and David to St Andrews United. Each of them brings a wealth of experience and quality that will strengthen our squad in all areas. We’ve been working hard to add further talent before the season kicks off, and with these signings, we’re taking significant steps towards our aim of finishing as high as possible in the East of Scotland Premier Division.”
The club continues to work behind the scenes to secure additional signings ahead of the new campaign and remains committed to building a competitive squad that can challenge for honours and excite supporters throughout the season
Welcome to St Andrews Utd FC Greig, Lewis and David!
