In the final part of our current series welcoming the new members of our U20s to Pollok FC, we are going to be introducing Leroy Smith and Mikey Verrecchia. There is symmetry with our first post as these lads come from Pollok United and Airdrieonians respectively, just like Douglas Cummings and Luke Biggart.

First up, Leroy Smith. Leroy is 18 years of age and is an energetic, fast centre forward. He has scooped a number of Player of the Year awards and netted 52 times in his best ever season. He helped the regional team reach the semi finals of the Glasgow Cup, with Leroy bagging a hat-trick in the quarter finals. Leroy has previously played with Hampden YFC, Clyde Community YFC, Weir Recreation and Hillwood, joining up at Pollok United for 2019-20.

And finally, for now, Mikey Verrecchia. Mikey is an 18 year old striker that joins up from Airdrieonians. He joined the Diamonds way back in the 2013-14 season from Jerviston BC. The only trophy he says he has won away from school football was the Reamon Gormley tournament.

Welcome to all 12 players announced so far: Luke Biggart; Kieran Docherty; Thomas Haggarty; Grant Jameson; Tiger Lawson; Lee Fraser; Ben Marshall; Alex Quinn; Ross Shaw; Leroy Smith and Michael Verrecchia. There more to follow in due course!
