Dykes checks in at Newlandsfield

Pollok FC are delighted to announce the signing of former Scotland youth international midfielder, Dylan Dykes from West of Scotland Conference B side, St.Cadoc’s.

Dykes started off his career as a youth with Rangers, then signing professionally for the Ibrox side in 2012 as they worked their way up the divisions following the events of 2011-12’s close season. Like then-team-mate David Brownlie, he transferred to Ross County for season 2016-17 where he was part of Stuart Kettlewell’s development league winning side. He made two appearances off the bench in the top flight (his professional debut coming in the Highland derby with Inverness Caley Thistle on 28/4/17) before spending 2017-18 on loan at Stranraer.

He had a calendar year at Morton from January 2019 to January 2020 that culminated with another loan spell, this time at Stenhousemuir for the first half of the 2019-20 season, spending the second half on the books of Cumbernauld Colts after his Cappielow release.

St. Cadoc’s picked him up for 2020-21 and it is from the McKenna Park side that Lok secured him.

Speaking to pollokfc.com, Lok boss Murdie MacKinnon had the following to say;

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Dylan again. We previously worked together during our time at Rangers, so I know that Dylan has real quality.

He will bring an added boost to the squad and club by showing the quality that he has in the attacking areas of the pitch. Dylan has great ability on the ball and has a very good record of scoring goals from midfield.

Dylan will be a fantastic player for Pollok as we move forward.

Dylan was equally upbeat on joining up with his new team;

“There’s a really good squad here and I’m just looking forward to getting involved. We’re still in the hunt for some trophies and I’ll do my best to help the club compete for them.”

Welcome to Pollok…Kyle Bradley

We are delighted to announce Kyle Bradley as our third new recruit of the summer.

Kyle joins Pollok from Lowland League side East Kilbride where he spent the truncated 20/21 season. Prior to East Kilbride, Bradley made over 60 appearances in the SPFL for Annan Athletic whom he joined, initially on loan, from Rangers where he made one top team appearance.

Speaking to pollokfc.com, Murdie MacKinnon expressed his delight at adding more quality to the squad.

We’re pleased to get the signing of Kyle Bradley over the line.

Kyle comes with an excellent pedigree. Having made his first team debut at Rangers before moving onto playing in the SPFL with Annan. He is extremely comfortable on the ball as reads the game really well.

Adding quality players like Kyle only improves our squad. It gives us real competition for places in defence. We are really looking forward to seeing him play in the Pollok shirt.

Kyle joins fellow summer signings Evan Horne and Callum Graham at Newlandsfield as pre-season training gets underway in the next few weeks.
