Troon Defender Calum Gow has moved on from the club, after more than a year at Portland Park.

The 31 year old centre-back began his career under Barry Ferguson at Clyde before he moved on to join his local side Clydebank in 2016. It was a loan move to Rossvale the following season which really kick started his career, however, as he became an important player under Manager Brian McGinty. When McGinty moved to Irvine Meadow as Manager, Gowser was one of his first signings as he spent four seasons at Meadow Park as Captain & a key man.

Murdo MacKinnon took Gow to Newlandsfield in the summer of 2022, where he once again became Captain. He went on to play for three seasons at the ‘Lok, eventually under former Kirkintilloch Rob Roy Manager Stewart Maxwell, before deciding to move on last summer as his contract ran down.

Gow moved to Portland Park last June, and he proved to be a man for the big occasion as he finished his maiden season as the club’s Player of the Year with 4 goals in 40 appearances and a record 3rd place finish in the WOSFL Premier Division, which saw us promoted at the end of last season. Gow was also a vital member of the side that lifted the WOSFL Cup on that amazing day in May!

Thanks for all your efforts at Portland Park Gowser, and all the best!
