Ex Leeds man Eoghan Stokes among those spotted as Airdrie return to training

Airdrieonians returned to training on Saturday afternoon as their preparations for the new League One season began in earnest.

A host of familiar faces and new recruits reported for duty, as gaffer Ian Murray returned from furlough to take his first session since the Covid-19 shutdown in March.

Among those snapped at New Broomfield were the club's latest signing Eoghan Stokes, who started his career at Leeds.

The Irishman was joined by fellow new boy Griffin Sabatini, who joined on loan from Ukrainian outfit SC Dnipro, French winger Thomas Robert, son of former Newcastle star Laurent, and ex-Hearts kid Dean Ritchie.

The Diamonds will spend the next five weeks working towards their Betfred Cup opener on October 7 when they welcome Alloa, which is followed another cup clash away to Stenhousemuir on October 13 and then their League One curtain-raiser at home to Peterhead on October 17.
