We are delighted to announce that Ryan Nisbet has joined the club from Glenafton Athletic.

Former Ayr United forward Nizzy was a fan’s favourite in a one-season spell at Portland Park in 2016-17, where he finished top scorer in an otherwise disappointing season for the club as we suffered relegation.

As the club witnessed a mass player departure come the season’s end, Nizzy moved on & enjoyed two strong seasons with Kilwinning before joining Glenafton last summer. With a Troon side on the up under Jimmy Kirkwood, Nizzy’s pace & goalscoring ability in a side that puts emphasis on pace & width is an exciting prospect indeed. And with interest coming from a number of Premiership clubs, including Irvine Meadow, Kirkwood is understandably delighted to get his man.

“With Jaime Gallagher, Raymond Montgomerie and Scott Chatham already signed up for next season, we are very confident that gives us one of the strongest midfield’s in the league, and the addition of Ryan Nisbet (alongside Dean Fulton) gives the side real potency going into the new season in the West of Scotland Football League.”

Welcome back to Portland Park, Nizzy!
