The Arbroath Thread


Recommended Posts

I'd happily take Craig Watson back, one of the few players who came out of 15/16 with pass marks. Not sure he'd come though, needs to be playing week in week out at this point in his career and not sure we could offer that.

I remember Watson played a couple games as a defensive midfielder too so it might be good to get him if he is versatile.

He was dreadful at defensive midfield, had no clue what he was meant to be doing, just got in the way

John Gibson

Arbroath FC are delighted that Goalkeeper John Gibson has agreed terms to move to Gayfield.

The 28 year old will be a familiar face to all Arbroath fans having played for Clyde for the last 2 seasons where he has regularly frustrated the Arbroath attack with his shot stopping skills.   

John who stands at 6’-3” is a vastly experienced keeper and started his career at Dundee United enjoying a loan spell at Forfar Athletic.

John made the switch to City rivals Dundee in 2009 and was loaned out to Elgin City where he played the entire season.  His form at Borough Briggs earned him a new deal and he went on to play for Sligo Rovers, Montrose and Elgin as well as making 3 first team appearances for Dundee.

In the summer of 2014 John made the switch to Alloa Athletic and played a pivotal role in Alloa’s Championship play-off survival before moving to Broadwood in the summer of 2015. 

We would like to welcome John to Gayfield and wish him the best in his Arbroath career.

C'mon the Lichties!

Ricky Gomes

Arbroath are extremely delighted that Goalkeeper Ricky Gomes has agreed terms to remain at Gayfield.

Ricky was a pivotal part of the team that won the Ladbrokes League 2 Championship after arriving at Gayfield in July last season.

Ricky made his Arbroath debut in the second half against Raith Rovers in a pre-season friendly at Gayfield before making his full debut against Inverness Caledonian Thistle U20s in the 3-0 win in the Highlands but unfortunately was injured late in the game.

It wasn’t until the 8th league of the season that Ricky was again involved. An injury to Robbie Mutch allowed Ricky to grab his chance and in the following game which was his first full appearance he won the man of the match award as Arbroath defeated Forfar Athletic 2-0.

Ricky’s performances between the sticks made sure that he was 1st choice keeper at the club and went on to remain in goal for the remainder of the season keeping 9 clean sheets in the process and being undefeated away from home in goal all season.

Ricky is extremely popular with the Arbroath fans we are delighted that Ricky is remaining at Gayfield!

C’mon the Lichties!
