Welcome Home Ryan McGregor

The club are delighted to announce that Ryan McGregor has signed for Pollok for a third spell at the club.

Ryan will need no introduction to many Newlandsfield fans playing 125 games and scoring 25 goals during his first two spells with Pollok.

While mainly playing as a central midfielder, McGregor is known for his versatility in playing almost every position at some point for Pollok.

Making his debut back in July 2009 Ryan spent just a single season with Pollok departing for Kilburnie Ladeside in 2010, then going on to play for Petershill, Renfrew and Arthurlie.

Returning to Pollok in 2017 with a five year spell back at Newlandsfield in that time Ryan made 105 appearances as a key part of the squad.

In September 2022 Ryan McGregor departed for a second stint at Arthurlie.

However, after eleven months away from Newlandsfield, Pollok’s prodigal son returns for a third time.
