Sam Denham Signs On At Bayview

We’re delighted to announce the signing of defender Sam Denham on a 1-year deal.

The 19-year-old defender came through the ranks at Celtic before joining St. Johnstone in July 2019. Sam spent the first half of last season on loan at Brechin City before joining Cowdenbeath on loan for the second half of the season. Sam also enjoyed a short loan spell at Edinburgh City for the latter half of the 2020/21 season.

Stevie Crawford: “I’m delighted to have been able to bring Sam into the club. Although Sam is still relatively young at 19, he has a lot of good attributes and has already played a good number of games at this level following his loan spells at Edinburgh City and Cowdenbeath. I’m looking forward to working with him and helping him develop over the course of the season”
