Troon are delighted to announce the return to Portland Park of forward Sam Jamieson from Cumnock for an undisclosed fee.

Sam began his career at Rangers at the age of 7 as a youth prospect & he enjoyed nearly 10 years at Murray Park before moving on to St. Mirren in the summer of 2017 in search of first-team football. Loan spells with University of Stirling & Brechin City, and a short spell at East Kilbride later, he spent 2020-21 with Albion Rovers where he made a very good impression.

In his first season at Troon, Sam scored 22 goals in 39 games to finish top scorer & take a clean sweep of awards, alongside the Manager’s Player of the Year and Player’s Player of the Year. He followed that up with 14 goals in all competitions last season, making it 39 goals in 88 competitive matches in total in his first spell.

He joined a Cumnock side who lifted the Scottish Junior Cup the previous summer, but they were a club in turmoil after Brian McGinty’s departure, Jordan Moore’s sale for a record transfer & Johnny Doyle’s late arrival. Murdo MacKinnon became their third Manager of the season before departing late in the season, before Stephen Swift was appointed a few weeks ago & the new broom is sweeping clean.

Given Sam’s scoring record in his last spell, it made it a no-brainer to bring him back to Portland Park.

Welcome home, Sam!
