LOWING:Another of Linwood’s footballing sons has been on the move during the pre-season lull when 24 year old David Lowing made the journey north from Ayr United to hang up his boots in the Stirling Albion dressing room.
A former Linwood schoolboy who honed his ball skills with Linwood St Conval’s Boys Club, David signed up forDundee United at the age of 14 back in 1997 to launch a career which has taken him through St Mirrin and Forfar to Ayr United and earned him the nickname of “Psycho”, having been shown two red cards last season.
Delighted to add David Lowing to his squad, Stirling Albion manager, Allan Moore, says “He is a player I have been tracking for a while. I was keen to get him when he left Forfar a couple of years ago”.
Recognising the defender’s past record, Allan Moore comments “He has had a few disciplinary problems in the past and we will need to talk to him about that but he is a good player who can get up and down the pitch and can play at left-back or in the centre of defence”.
All Linwood football enthusiasts are sure he will be an asset to his new club and wish David well.
