NEW SIGNING: Kyle Connell

The club is pleased to announce the signing of striker Kyle Connell from Cove Rangers on a one-year contract, subject to SFA approval.

Connell may be a familiar face to Clyde fans, having scored against The Bully Wee for three different clubs over his career so far.

The 22-year-old began his career at Kilmarnock and had loan spells with Airdrieonians, East Fife and Raith Rovers.

Kyle then had a short stint at East Kilbride before joining Cove Rangers last summer, and bagged a double on his debut against Clyde when the sides met in last season’s League Cup.

Kyle will officially become a Clyde player when the transfer window opens later this month.

Ian McCall commented after Kyle put pen to paper:-

“I’ve seen a lot of Kyle, particularly in his younger years, and he always stood out as someone who had a lot of potential. He’s got all the key attributes we’re looking for in a striker and he’s scored goals at Championship and League 1 level.

“We want to build a squad which is competitive in every area and Kyle will hopefully be one of three strikers at our disposal. As with everyone else in the squad he’ll need to work harder than he ever has before to get into the team and maintain a starting jersey.”
