PETRIE'S BACKROOM STAFF UP FOR CONTINUED ADVENTURE

Stewart Petrie has secured the services of his entire coaching and backroom staff at Links Park until at least the summer of 2022

On the coaching side Sean Dillon, Iain Campbell and Tony Bullock will continue in their roles as First Team Coach, Coach and Goalkeeping Coach respectively.

Behind the scenes, Physios Gemma Collier, Scott Shepherd and Sports Scientist Stuart MacFarlane have also all agreed contract extensions, keeping the whole team together for the foreseeable future.

Petrie is always quick to share his appreciation of his support staff and the incredible work they do behind the scenes.

Stewart said, “We have been very fortunate to enjoy a lot of success since Ross and I took over 4 years ago. However, this would simply not have been possible without the immense support we have had from our coaching and backroom teams.

“Sean, Yano and Bully ensure every training session is fresh, focussed and effective, whilst Gemma and Scott do everything they can to keep the whole squad available, getting injuries resolved quickly and professionally. Finally, Stuart’s conditioning and nutrition work has been a complete game changer, allowing us to finish each game and every season very strongly.

“Ross and I are delighted that the whole team, in which we have so much faith and trust, will be alongside us as we now look to focus on completing this incredibly strange season as positively as possible.”
