Kilwinning Rangers kick-start new era with 10 summer signings

Chris Strain has kicked off a new era at Kilwinning Rangers with 10 summer signings.

The Buffs boss has gone for a mix of youth and experience in a bid to hit the ground running ahead of the new season.

There’s a return to the club for former Buffs favourites, winger Dean Agnew and midfielder Ricky Hanvey.

Former Largs and Morton winger Alec McWatters is also on board while goalkeeper David Markey and midfielder Steven Tan join after spells at Darvel.

Strain has also managed to lure defender Chris McGowan and forward Ally McColm from senior side Stranraer, while wide-man Kieran McLaughlin makes the move from Ayr United.

Fellow forwards Ryan Wilson and Darren Frye, who featured for Buffs as trialists towards the end of last season, have also put pen to paper on permanent deals.

Strain said: “I’m delighted to get these deals over the line.

“There’s maybe an unknown element about a few of them but I feel these boys have the hunger and desire to help us be successful."
