Pollok Football Club is delighted this evening to announce the signing of Martin McGoldrick.

McGoldrick, an accomplished central defender, joins the club from Auchinleck Talbot, where he has played for the last seven seasons.

Tony McInally was effusive in his praise for the player: “I’m absolutely delighted to have secured the services of a top-class central defender in Martin. Along with Bryan Young, he has been a pivotal member of a very successful Auchinleck Talbot team in recent times.

“We are also delighted that he has chosen Pollok over many other Super Premier League teams in both the West and East regions.

“He will make us a much better defensive unit and help provide a solid foundation for the team in the next few seasons.”

McGoldrick told pollokfc.com: “It was an easy decision to sign for a massive club like Pollok.

“The last seven years at Auchinleck have been very successful and memorable. But that said, I’m looking forward to the new challenge and working with new management and players, and I’m hoping I’ll be able to build some memories closer to home.”

McGoldrick will meet his new team mates on tomorrow and could be in line to make his Lok debut in the friendly against Bonnyrigg Rose – kick off: 14:30hrs at New Dundas Park.
