Defender Lewis McArthur returns to Camelon Juniors
The Falkirk-born 27-year-old was previously on the Mariners’ books from July 2021 to December 2022 before moving on to play two years apiece at the Scottish Lowland Football League’s Bo’ness United and William Hill League Two’s Edinburgh City.
He left City in February and has now returned to manager Thomas Scobbie’s Camelon ahead of their upcoming East of Scotland Football League premier division campaign.
Welcoming him back, the Mariners’ director of football, Steven Allison, said: “Lewis is a player that both myself and the gaffer have admired for a long time.
“We are delighted to have fought off competition from league clubs to bring him back to Camelon.
“He will bring a wealth of experience, quality and strength to the squad, and we believe he will be a huge asset for us in the season ahead. We’re thrilled to welcome him back.”
McArthur added: “I’ve been here before, so it’s going to be nice coming back.
“It’s a completely different club now with completely different objectives, and that’s what makes this move so exciting.
“I’m looking forward to getting started, meeting up with the boys and helping the club achieve its ambitions this season.”
Camelon kick off their pre-season itinerary away to West of Scotland Football League second division side Easterhouse in Glasgow this coming Saturday and that’s a noon start.
Next up after that is an away-day against the Scottish Highland Football League’s Strathspey Thistle seven days later, with kick-off at 2.30pm.
