SAUCHIE Juniors' one departure on Tuesday brought one arrival the following day, as interim manager Jon Tully added one to his squad for the remaining games of the current season.
The club announced on Tuesday evening that defender Jack Thomson would be leaving on their social media pages, with the 23-year-old heading to Lowland League side Broxburn Athletic.
Thomson was initially a loan signing from Linlithgow Rose before that was made permanent in September of 2023.
A regular feature in the starting eleven, with the towering centre-back forming formidable partnerships in the heart of the defence with captain Scott Davidson and former player Lucas Williamson.
A post from the club read: ‘Sauchie Juniors can confirm the departure of defender Jack Thomson to Broxburn Athletic on a pre-contract agreement. A fee between the two clubs has been reached, allowing Jack to join up with his new teammates imminently rather than at the end of the season.
‘We would like to thank Jack for his efforts in a Sauchie jersey and wish him all the best for the future."
There was a return for Conor Kelly, making his fourth return to Beechwood Park, with the striker joining from fellow league side Dunipace.
"I love all the people who work in the background and have always kept in touch over my spells when I've been elsewhere.
"Although I've played in many great teams at this level and been in great changing rooms, there's something special about Sauchie that feels like home.”
Being a former teammate of Jon Tully, interim boss, he also added: “I have a great relationship with Tullz, he helped me greatly, especially when I was a young player finding my feet, so when he approached me to come back and play for him, it was a straightforward answer.”
Tully was also quick to comment on his latest recruit: “Conor is a great lad, one that brings not only a great buzz about the place but also vital experience. He’ll spread that around the changing room, helping every player there, young and old.”
