East Kilbride announce first signings under new boss Mick Kennedy

East Kilbride have announced their first three new signings under boss Mick Kennedy as his K-Park revolution gets underway in earnest.

The club returned for pre-season training on Tuesday night, as Kennedy and assistant boss Si Ferry started work with the club's new players.

Kennedy confirmed 15 signings have been made so far and the club are announcing them throughout the week.

And last night the Lowland League outfit unveiled the first three players to commit to Kilby for their title push next season are former Edinburgh and Spartans defender Jordan Tapping, ex-Auchinleck Talbot and Cumnock striker Keir Samson and former Troon full-back Mark Morrison.

Boss Kennedy said: "I've watched Callum's career closely for a long time and he was a player I identified as soon as I came to East Kilbride. I wanted to bring him in because of his qualities on the pitch and as an individual.

"Keir is a player I've come up against a number of times while he was at Auchinleck Talbot. He has been one of the top strikers at that level for a number of years now, contributing to the success Auchinleck have had.

"I'm absolutely delighted to bring Mark to the club. He's been an absolute standout last season at right-back and one of the best players in the [West of Scotland] league. He has all the attributes we look for in a full-back and I'm really looking forward to working with him."

More signings are due to be announced today and the new Kilby captain will also be confirmed by the club.
