Sauchie Juniors make loan move swoop for Bonnyrigg Rose duo

Manager Jon Tully has started to add to his squad ahead of the new season starting.

The first signings of the Tully era have included a permanent forward and midfielder, while a pair of defenders have been brought in on loan.

Dylan McGowan and Rory Hutchison have put pen to paper at Beechwood, both making the move up from amateur football.

Forward McGowan arrives from Bannockburn Amateurs, while Hutchison previously played for neighbouring Tullibody St Serf's.

Tully said: "Dylan is a very good player who's proved his worth at amateur level, winning several awards and has made the move back up to senior level.

"He is looking super fit, sharp and he's showed his quality in linking up superbly with his new teammates in training so far.

"Rory is another one moving up from amateur level, a young guy who's already shown his quality and willingness to learn from our experienced players.
