New Additions to Squad

The club is pleased to announce the addition of further players to the first team squad, ahead of today’s match against Annan Athletic at Broadwood.

Smart Osadolor and Mark Burbidge have both signed one-year contracts with Clyde.

Osadolor is a 26-year-old forward, born in Nigeria, and is another man making the switch from Annan to work with Jim Chapman and John Joyce again. Over the last two seasons at Galabank, Smart scored a total of 17 goals, including a return of 13 in the 2015-16 campaign.

Burbidge, 24, is a winger or forward who has impressed with his performances for Clydebank in the Junior ranks over the last two years. During that time, he found the net 18 times for The Bankies and is now hoping to make a successful transition to the senior game.

Also joining the club on amateur terms are; Callum Home (defender, 24), Lewis Wilson (defender, 20), Jordan Brown (midfielder, 19) and Pinio Dachnowicz (midfielder, 18).

All six men are eligible to feature in today’s Betfred Cup match.

Clyde manager Jim Chapman said: “We now have the quantity to go with the quality as we continue with our rebuilding plan. There will be opportunities for the younger players to be involved in the first team, or take part in the Development League.

“Anyone else coming into the club now will need to be of a better standard to the players that we already have and our recruitment will be done on that basis.”
