The Minertaur Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Central Park was buzzing this evening with a hectic round of signing activity underway as manager Gary Bollan began assembling his squad for season 2018/19. Firstly two new recruits put pen to paper - midfield man Martin 'Jimmy' Scott who last season was with Stenhousemuir is pictured. Martin of course is a vastly experienced player who numbers among his previous clubs Hibs, Ross County and Livingston. Capped by Scotland at under 21 level, Martin can play in a number of positions and we offer him a warm Central Park welcome. Also signing on the dotted line was former favourite Kris Renton who returns after a season in League One where he helped Alloa win promotion. The big striker was Cowden's player of the year in season 2016/17 and we are very pleased to bring Kris back to the Blue Brazil.Over and above Martin and Kris, Gary was absolutely delighted to be able to resign many of the players tonight that he wished to retain from last season - those players who were able to come in tonight to extend their existing contracts were Ryan Connelly, Cameron Muirhead, Jamie Pyper, Fraser Mullen, Robbie Buchanan, Brad Smith, Kyle Miller, Harvey Swann and David Cox. More signing news is expected shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onecowden Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 The signing news is very encouraging. For the first time in a few seasons we are getting pen to paper before we get gazumped. I'm feeling a lot better about the season ahead. Any news on season tickets (prices etc)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowdenLoyal Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I genuinely don't know what to think of this. We've kept a lot of the boys who have spectacularly finished bottom of the league two seasons in a row, plus bringing one guy back in from the first time. Don't get me wrong, I quite liked Renton and hope he does well, scoring a bit more than he did previously. As for Scott, I've not been impressed with him many times and must be getting on a bit?Perhaps having a competent manager for this level in place for an entire pre season might do the trick. Fingers and toes crossed.Delighted to see Connelly sign on though. Hopefully he gets himself back fit and possibly form a partnership with Renton.Big year for Muirhead as well. He needs to give more which he's perfectly capable of. Would not have been gutted if he left - I'm sure Bollan won't stand for anyone not pulling their weight.

cowden boy Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Excellent bit of business from gary, always rated renton excellent at holding the ball up big physical presence up the park, also glad we managed to get harvey and brad to resign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big al Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Happy that Swann has signed, had heard he had indicated towards end of last season he wouldn’t be and was looking for full time. Guess it must not have materialised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NELLY Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 The signings are good. For me its all about improvement. Gary has kept the players who have improved under him. MULLEN/PYPER/SWANN etc and connelly and muirhead are still young and prospects. Brad Smith is a key player and Robbie Buchanan has got better under Gary no doubt. Cox has been a dissapointment for me and granted he has had an injury but his ability on the ball is so poor and I was expecting more. As for the signings as said its all about improvement. I think renton is better than sheerin. Renton played in a team which got promoted to Championship so was clearly doing something right. Always liked the big lad for sheer effort and work rate and him and carrick were great together. As for Martin Scott its a make sense signing. A guy with experience whom is physical and big, good in the air and can play centre mid or just off the left. I liked him as a trialist for us a couple seasons back but we signed david robertson instead(wow!). We have experience in the side now with cox/scott/gilfillan and hopefully Mcgurn. Is Mcgurn staying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waspie Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Good luck to big Renton. Struggled for games at Alloa after the arrival of Ross Stewart but always gave his all and got a few important goals earlier in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a great signing for any club and is always taken as good news. sadly, through injury or mental willingness, he never lives up to expectations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberdeen Cowden Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Renton signing on is a big boost. Hopefully we can get a couple of players who can take advantage of his holding up play. Amazing the difference a few new faces make to the outlook for next season. Get the season tickets on sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
