Glenafton Athletic appoint treble-winning hero as new manager


Glenafton Athletic have appointed former treble-winning player Mick McCann as their new manager.

McCann succeeds Craig McEwan who quit the Loch Park hotseat last October after the club opted to sit out the inaugural West of Scotland League season.

And Glenafton will be hoping their former striker can replicate the success he achieved on the pitch, in the dugout.

McCann signed for Glens in 2015 and bagged 58 goals in 160 appearances over five seasons.

He was part of the all-conquering side that won the West Premier title, Scottish Junior Cup and Evening Times Cup Winners Cup in 2016/17.

Prior to that, he spent four seasons at Auchinleck Talbot during a successful spell that saw the club win a brace of league titles and Scottish Junior Cups.

His other clubs include Annbank, Irvine Meadow and Troon.

Glens say McCann will appoint his own backroom team in due course.

In a statement published on the club's Facebook page, secretary John Stewart said: "We are delighted with this appointment and we cannot wait for the club to be back training and playing and, of course, with our supporters back at Loch Park."
