Introducing our Development squad (part 5)

In the second of two updates today, let’s find out who else is joining up with the U20 Development squad set to compete in Conference B once the football gets underway. Up next are two 18 year olds, Alex Quinn and Ross Shaw.

Alex comes to Pollok from Linwood Rangers, the only club he has played for so far. This is because Alex was previously involved at a high level in Judo and competed for Scotland in that discipline. Alex is an energetic box-to-box midfielder who wil be involved at either end of the pitch. He is a graduate technology apprentice at Morgan Stanley and is also studying software engineering at Strathclyde University.

The second of our two goalkeepers to be announced is Ross Shaw. Ross, or Shawzy as he is known, is actually a recent addition to the ‘goalkeepers union’, ending up in goal when a team-mate failed to show for a game – and the rest, they say, is history! Ross counts Renton Craigandro, Erskine Youth, Dumbarton United, Linwood Rangers and Vale of Leven among his clubs, and last season was with BSC Glasgow. Despite his age, he made it onto the bench for a game away to Berwick Rangers in November 2019.

Welcome to both Alex and Ross and good luck for the 2020-21 campaign! We will have a further two players being revealed tomorrow so watch out for news of those.
